A School Work Experience Program (SWEP) is a school-operated program
designed to assist youths with disabilities find and maintain meaningful
employment. The youths are placed by the school in community-based
employmentworksites outside of the school setting. Whether an employment
relationship exists between the youths with disabilities and the school and/or
the separate worksite depends on several factors.
When an employment relationship exists, the community-based employer may
pay students with disabilities special minimum wages if the school has obtained
an authorizing certificate from the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour
Division.
