Work Experience (WEX)
Pathways to Success is excited to be partnering with the Delaware Workforce Development Board and Youth Division of Employment and Training by offering our youth work-based learning opportunities known as Work Experience or the WEX Program.
Pathways to Success is creating the opportunity to transition our students into adulthood by providing them with employment opportunities that can lead to long- term employment.
One study found students who participated in work-based learning were more likely to attend college or go to work compared to their peers. (Job for the Future, 2007)
Pathways to Success WEX Program provides students with:
- Career exploration
- Skill development
- Placement of students with local employers
- 520 hours of paid employment
- Continued support during employment
