Summary….
The Fire & Rescue Program participates in the Work-Based Learning Program during the month of May for all second-year students. Students report to Fire Stations in the afternoons instead of reporting to MTC. A Program Agreement is completed before placement in the Fire Station, students turn in a Time Sheet at the end of the month to the WBL Coordinator, and an Evaluation is completed and submitted to the teacher to incorporate with their six week’s grade.
