Education at the School of Work
The Reykjavík School of Work emphasizes providing students with a positive experience and education in their first steps in the job market. The School of Work provides education on pay slips, resumes, work ethics and income tax. The education is tailored to the students' age.
Peer Education at Hitt Husid Youth Center
The School of Work partners with the Peer Education Center run by Hitt Húsið Youth Center in Reykjavík. Peer educators enter all 9th and 10th grade groups with a variety of prevention education.
The education concerns a wide range of topics through discussions and team building games that seek, among other things, to enhance the teenagers' self-image.
Green Flag Projects
The School of Work pays great attention to environmental issues. The School of Work participates in the international Eco-Schools project (“Skólar á grænni grein”), managed by Landvernd – Icelandic Environment Association here in Iceland. The project is designed to increase environmental education and strengthen environmental policy at school. School of Work instructors teach environmental awareness through a variety of engaging approaches.
The School of Work has proudly displayed the Green Flag since 2008, an award that recognizes outstanding operational achievement.
