Description: Work Based Learning (WBL) is an educational strategy that provides students a setting where they can enhance their learning, explore career options, and demonstrate their academic, technical, and career readiness skills in authentic work settings.
Work-Based Learning (WBL) opportunities are part of a planned program of school-site and worksite experiences related to the career interest of the student. They are designed to enable the student to acquire knowledge and skills in a real work setting. The benefits for the student, the school district, and the employer are many as the student develops technical, academic, and career readiness skills while participating in meaningful engagement with employers in his/her chosen field of study.
These experiences help connect student learners with employers to prepare them for success in an ever-changing workplace. According to Gallup, business leaders value an internship or work-based learning experience over grades or college major.
