WENTWORTH TRAINING PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY:

The Wentworth Training program provides transitional opportunities for Boston Public School students, ages 18-22, who receive special education services. This is a community-based vocational training program that leads to internships, externships, employment and postgraduate opportunities in the fields of Facilities Management, Hospitality, Customer Service, Business Management, and Public Works (recycling).

This is an authentic work experience. Students are given job titles, work IDs, evaluations, and pay raises. Our program sets high expectations for all learners, ensuring that our community-based partners receive the best of BPS.

As a professional contractor, we are accountable for results. Student tasks and evaluations are based not only on their personal growth, but also on their productivity in the contracted work. Student learning is maximized as students are able to set goals for their own learning and mastery of projects and skills.
