There are inherent risks in any experiential learning opportunity in the community. Students participating in work experience and their parents should be provided with information about potential risks and about student accident insurance. Students and their parents are encouraged to obtain this coverage (see “Student Accident Insurance”, page 38).
The Ministry of Education provides workplace safety and insurance coverage for students aged fourteen or older who are participating in work experience. The Work Education Agreement (WEA) form must be completed before the work experience begins. School boards are required to use the WEA form for individual students who are fourteen years of age or older. (Details about Workplace Safety and Insurance Act [WSIA] coverage are outlined in Policy/Program Memorandum No. 76A.)
