DBO/Co-Op Assignments

Students will develop personal qualities and entry level workplace readiness skills needed for success in office, marketing, retail or industrial careers. Units of study will cover the following: initial job searching, interviewing, work place safety, sexual harassment in the workplace, budgeting, taxes, payroll and personal finances. Instruction is geared to help students develop a broader understanding and appreciation of the personal, social, and economic responsibilities of American workers. This course is taken in conjunction with the Cooperative Work Program. 

 

This program is offered to seniors who are enrolled in Diversified Business Occupations. It is an on-the-job training program whereby selected students leave school in the afternoon and are employed in local businesses and governmental fields. Previous attendance records and grades in business and marketing courses are considered. An individualized training program is arranged for each student by the employer, the student-employee, and the Diversified Business Occupations Coordinator. The student-employee is expected to learn and accurately perform those duties listed in the training agreement. Continuous evaluation is provided through the Coordinator’s visits to the workstation and quarterly written evaluations by the employer. Upon completion of this experience, the student-employee will have gained valuable work experience in the business field.
