General Info

OCPS School-to-Work program has a twenty-five year partnership with Universal Orlando, which provides an alternative approach to traditional high school. The Universal Education Center (UEC) is located on the grounds of Universal Orlando Resort (UO), and students work either side of their academic core classes in the morning or afternoon. Students are paid for their shifts. A key highlight of UEC is the Mentoring Program, as each student is paired with a successful employee within Universal’s management team. Mentors meet weekly with their mentees, and these relationships cultivate further learning beyond the workplace or classroom. With very small class sizes in our brand new learning space, individualized and focused attention can be given to all students from our OCPS teachers to help them reach their graduation & post-secondary goals. To enter the program, students must meet these basic requirements: 16 years of age or older Grade Point Average of at least 1.7 Flexibility to be successful in a non-traditional school setting Commit to working 3 hours a day, Monday - Friday, 15 hours a week No major discipline referrals How can I learn more, or register my interest in joining the UEC?
