Education for Employment
Arrowhead High School offers guidance and course opportunities to develop awareness and skills for future careers. As students plan their high school program and participate in course offerings each year, they will begin to develop ideas of their strengths, interests, and capabilities related to their future plans, and engage in Academic & Career Exploration (ACE) using the XELLO system. Career exploration occurs throughout high school as students take a variety of classes and make the connection between what they are learning and future occupational options.
The state of Wisconsin requires each school to develop a plan for Education for Employment/Academic and Career Planning. This plan, along with other information on our website serves as resources of all our academic and career planning services.

YOUTH APPRENTICESHIPS
Youth Apprenticeships are part of a statewide School-to-Work initiative. They are designed for high school students who want hands on learning in an occupational area at a worksite, along with classroom instruction. This is available to juniors and seniors only, and is a one or two-year combination of classroom and paid work based learning. Students are guided by teachers and workplace mentors, and achieve state certificates of mastery upon completion of the program. The skill certificate is an addition to the high school diploma, which employers across the industry recognize and respect. There are several Youth Apprenticeships available at AHS:
MENTORING
Mentoring is available to students in grades 11-12. Mentoring links students with a mentor who has related interests and talents in learning based relationship. Mentors teach, counsel, and encourage students in developing their potential interests and talents to help them become aware of education and career options. This is usually a full semester experience. No credit is given.
IN-SCHOOL WORK EXPERIENCE
In-School Work Experience is an opportunity for students to gain work experience within the local school districts. Examples of this would be office or teacher aide. Eligibility, and credit information is available through the school counseling office.
