Students may enroll in DCO during the junior and senior year. Students who are in good standing academically and on track for graduation may be released from school for half days to work. The employer is required to provide students with job training and skills by following an Occupational Training Plan in cooperation with LCTI. LCTI provides a certified, professional school-to-career coordinator who is responsible to monitor job-site placements. Weekly competency-based instruction takes place at PHS with the LCTI coordinator. Students are formally evaluated by both the LCTI coordinator and the employer each marking period.
