Welcome to Work- Based Learning (WBL)
Work-Based Learning gives students the opportunity to learn a variety of skills by expanding the walls of classroom learning to
include the community. By narrowing the gap between theory and practice, Work-Based Learning creates meaning for students.
WBL provides opportunities for students to learn a variety of skills through rigorous academic preparation with hands-on career development experiences. Under the guidance of adult mentors, students learn to work in teams, solve problems, and meet employers’ expectations.
