Welcome students and parents.

The work experience program provides students with the opportunity to investigate their interests, skills and options in the work world.  In addition,  they use their job seeking skills to obtain employment, either in community businesses or as aides in the Bozeman school district.

Upon completion of this course each student shall:

• Complete a resume, cover letter and reference list.
• Conduct a job search and post a resume on the Job Service web site.
• Complete a Montana Career Information Service skills inventory.

Students

Please remember:

• You must sign in with the work experience office each day, even those of you who are employed.  Failure to do so will result in an unexcused absence.
• We need your pay stubs or time sheets to verify your hours.  Turn in time sheets weekly and pay stubs, as soon as possible, after payday.
