Work Experience Education (WEE)
The WEE program (formerly CWE) is designed to help you relate your college courses to your career goals. WEE is a three-way partnership between the student, the college, and the employer. WEE is designed to “Connect College to Careers” by combining academic study and meaningful work experience that result in earning elective credit, developing marketable skills and preparing for a successful career. An internship involves completing documented measurable workplace objectives and career related assignments to earn college credit. Internships may be paid or unpaid.
