CED 195: General Work Experience

General Work Experience Education is supervised employment which is intended to assist students in acquiring desirable work habits, attitudes and career awareness. The work experience need not be related to the students' educational goals, and any type of work, paid or volunteer, is appropriate. The objectives students set for themselves need to be "college level". Students can enroll in 1-3 units, for a maximum of 6 units. These units can be applied to the Associate Degree and transferred to most CSUs.

CED 50: Intro to Work Experience

This is a lower level General Work Experience. Units earned are applicable to the Associate Degree but are not designed to transfer to a 4-year college. Students can enroll in 1/2 unit increments up to 3 units, for a total of 6 units .
