Corry CAHS Expands Work Experience Program For Six Students
Corry Area High School has moved into the second stage of its Work Experience program with six seniors taking on on the job training. Under Norman Edinger and Leroy Peck the pilot began last school year after state approval. The youths work afternoon shifts earning starting wages of 1.60 and rotate through multiple plant departments gaining industry exposure. Additionally eight agri business trainees work in farms and related commerce under FFA, with hours sometimes extending into evenings. A third Special Education program includes eight students in service and non skilled tasks. All programs emphasize local needs and industry cooperation across Corry area.
