Vocational Training

Students at PVHS get the opportunity to have work experience through the vocational training course. Teachers grade students based on their attendance, class work, and a final exam. This vocational program prepares students for their future and helps them understand what skills different jobs require. Students get paid minimum wage and get school credits while they are working. Most students report that this is a very valuable course in helping prepare for their future.

What Students Think About Their Vocational Training

Betsy has been a student at PVHS for two and a half months.  Her on-the-job training is at Pueblo Gardens Elementary School where she works with children 4 & 5 years of age.  She has been doing this training for about two weeks and the part of the training she likes the best is working with the children.  From this experience she has learned different and better ways to teach children.
