Work Experience Courses

Work Experience is an easy way to earn units and learn valuable work skills. The courses support the educational benefits of work and give students the opportunity to earn college credit while working in supervised employment.

The California Virtual Campus-Online Education Initiative has recognized LPC’s WRKX courses as meeting the highest standards for online courses in the California Community College system.

Course Information and Benefits

  • Work in a part-time or full-time, paid or unpaid position.
  • Work 75 paid hours or 60 unpaid hours per unit in these variable-unit courses.
  • Attend one one-hour synchronous online or on-campus orientation and do the rest of the work at your workplace and in the asynchronous online course.
  • Earn a maximum of 16 units of Work Experience. Units are transferable to the CSU system and other universities. Units are not transferable to the UC system. Check with Counseling and your prospective transfer institution about the number of accepted transferable units.
  • In collaboration with your work supervisor and instructor, create learning objectives you will accomplish during the semester.
  • Learn the work skills employers look for most in job candidates.
  • Do simple, easy assignments that require much less time than those in most other college courses. 
  • Boost your GPA. If students do the coursework and submit it on time, most students earn an A in the class.
  • Earn the extra units you need to qualify as a full-time student. Because you can take WRKX multiple times, up to 16 units, some students take WRKX for two or three units each semester to meet full-time student status.
  • Get ahead at work. Students have gained raises, promotions, and better relationships with their supervisors because of WRKX classes.

Course Offerings

WRKX 94. Occupational Work Experience/Internship, for students who work in positions related to their major field of study. Earn 1 to 8 units per semester.

WRKX 95. General Work Experience, for students with any type of employment or volunteer work. Earn 1 to 6 units per semester.
