Work-Based Learning Programs (WBL) is a continuum of awareness, exploration, preparation, and  training activities, including developing employability and technical skills that support success in careers and postsecondary education.  Structured learning and authentic work experiences are implemented through an education and industry partnership.  Students have the opportunity to connect what they learn in school with worksite application, enabling a smooth transition into the work force and/or education beyond high school.  Work-Based Learning activities culminate in an assessment and recognition of acquired knowledge and skills.
