Transition

The Mount Carmel Guild Academy helps its older students with career development, employment preparation, independence, and integration into the workplace and community

The educational program in grades nine and ten focuses on the traditional high school academic classes as well as providing exposure once a week to a variety of potential vocational areas including: culinary arts, building trades, advanced arts, advanced computers. The educational program in grades eleven and twelve segues from the traditional academic program to provide more focused transitional opportunities in the previously mentioned vocational areas. Students select one or more of the advanced classes and seniors, whose schedules allow, may take one of the classes for a double period four days a week.
The Academy provides off-site supervised job sampling for high school seniors at community businesses. The job sampling includes opportunities in restaurants, janitorial services, nursing, automotive maintenance, childcare, retail services, and recreational arts and crafts.
Students can also participate in job sampling. Accompanied by a job coach, students are placed at actual work settings within the community where they have the opportunity to experience first hand a variety of potential places of employment.
