The TumwaterWorks Pilot Program aims to provide students with both classroom instruction and real-world experience, preparing them for their future careers. Students will take a 90-hour course where they will develop life skills, personal finance skills, career exploration, and earn a 0.5 CTE credit towards graduation (through New Market Skills Center). Concurrently, students will participate in a paid work experience for 40 hours with a community partner. This program is designed to provide students with their first paid work experience through community service in preparation for future work experiences. Students will earn a completion stipend, offered by the Tumwater Chamber Foundation.
