The Summer Work and Learning Program provides supervised work experience and MCAS tutoring for qualified students during a six week period in the summer. Students work 20 hours a week at selected work sites. These include the City of Attleboro’s Police and Fire Departments, Planning Department, Inspection Department, and Parks and Recreation Department. Sturdy Memorial Hospital also hosts students in the copy center, billing, storeroom and food preparation areas.

The summer program enrolled 30 students and 28 students (93%) completed all six weeks of the program. All 30 students (100%) experienced skill gains in at least one work-based learning program skill area and 26 (87%) had skill gains in a minimum of two areas.

All students indicated that they would not have sought assistance in MCAS remediation this past summer if it were not for this program.

If you are interested in hosting students and giving them the opportunity to gain valuable work skills, we will support your company with a worksite coordinator and a tutor to provide the academic remediation. You may contact us at 508-222-5150 ext.307 or e-mail us at clachance@schooltocareer.info.
