LAHS has many talented students who are prepared with basic entry level skills in the areas of retail sales, child care, tutoring, computer applications, etc. This partnership between LAHS and the local business community has been very effective over the years. Remember to HIRE Los Al! (A note to parents: Research shows that students with part-time jobs exceeding 15 hours per week tend to earn lower grades.)
Work Permits
Applications are available through the Career Center for students between 14 and 18 years of age. The work permit states the number of hours and times of day that the student may work each week. The application requires an employer signature, parent signature, and social security number. Upon returning the application, the work permit is issued. Plan on one day minimum for processing. It is a good idea to discuss the relationship between classroom obligations and parttime employment with your student.
