Practical Office Experience (POE)

Students will have the opportunity to gain valuable “on the job” work experience, while assisting in the various offices of the school. Business courses are not required for this class. Practical Office Experience students are assigned to an office/teacher who will delegate various office tasks relevant to that department. The student is responsible for completing those assignments and is evaluated by the participating office contact person. Each student will develop competencies in such areas as: telephone communications, public relations, filing, message taking and distribution, understanding nonverbal communication and performing routine tasks accurately and effectively. The course requirements are satisfactory completion of assigned tasks and satisfactory attendance and punctuality. Students must remain in good academic standing. The course will be graded on a P/F basis.
