Work Based Learning
What is Work Based Learning?
- Work-based learning is an authentic learning experience that allows students to explore their career goals, interests, and abilities while applying their academic and technical knowledge and skills in a real-world context.
- Work-based Learning activities are planned and supervised by instructional staff in collaboration with business, industry, or community partners.
- High quality work-based learning will provide effective and equitable experiences to empower all students to become confident workers and culturally competent citizens of New York State.
