Upcoming Assignments
Due:
Do you want to take this course as honors and complete the employability skills modules
Due:
OSHA-10
OSHA-10 is a requirement for work-based learning. If you have completed OSHA-10, you may submit this assignment empty. I will download a copy of your certificate from Skyward. If you have not completed OSHA-10, please pick up a payment voucher from your work-based learning coordinator by the due date. You will have one month to complete the certificate for full credit.
Due:
Letter of Recommendation
Obtain one letter of recommendation.
The letter should be signed and, if applicable, on company letterhead.
You must have one letter of recommendation for each semester you are in work-based learning, with a maximum of three required.
Include these letters in your portfolio.
For full credit, you need to get letters from different types of people. In other words, do not get all of your letters from teachers (a coach can count as a different type of person even if he/she is a teacher).
START ASKING FOR THESE EARLY. TEACHERS ESPECIALLY GET A LOT OF THESE REQUESTS.
