STRIVE Wentworth Training Program

The Wentworth Training Program includes two work experience programs at the same worksite.

In 1988, the Wentworth Institute of Technology opened its campus to students with unique learning needs and provided opportunities for these individuals to practice, learn, earn, and gain authentic work experiences. These experiences are part of a contract with Wentworth Institute for Technology that dates back to 1988 and reflects a long-time commitment by the college to providing opportunities t

o Boston students with disabilities. The Go Green Recycling program provides structured experience in recycling, with collected recyclable materials being cleaned, weighed and sold for re-use. The Facilities Program provides a high level of technical experience in equipment operation, cleaning and facilities management. Skills from both programs are transferable to a variety of career pathways in facilities management, environmental services and other career fields. The Go Green program is commonly referred to as "green side" and the Facilities program is commonly referred to as "blue side" or "dorms."

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.
