                                                             Career Preparation and Practicum Classes

Career Preparation, according to TEC 127.13b,  provides opportunities for students to participate in a learning experience that combines classroom instruction with paid business and industry employment experiences and supports strong partnerships among school, business, and community stakeholders. The goal is to prepare students with a variety of skills for a fast-changing workplace. This instructional arrangement should be an advanced component of a student's individual program of study. Students are taught employability skills, which include job-specific skills applicable to their training station, job interview techniques, communication skills, financial and budget activities, human relations, and portfolio development. Career preparation is a two semester course (2-3 credits) that is  relevant and rigorous, supports student attainment of academic standards, and effectively prepares students for college and career success.  

Students within the Career Preparation program are representing Hudson ISD at their workplace. A committee will look at student information, which includes absences, tardies, grades, and at least two teacher references. After the student is in the class, if there is an incident or combination of incidences that occur, the student may lose the privilege of being in the class resulting in a loss of credits.  A committee comprised of at least the teacher, a principal, and the CTE Director will determine if a student will be removed from the class based on the student's actions.

The practicum, according to TEC 130,  is designed to give students supervised practical application of knowledge and skills. Practicum experiences can occur in a variety of locations appropriate to the nature and level of experiences such as employment, independent study, internships, assistantships, mentorships, or laboratories.
