Georgia's Work-Based Learning (WBL) program is a dynamic initiative designed to provide high school students with invaluable hands-on experience in real-world work environments. Through partnerships with local businesses, students gain practical skills and insights relevant to their career interests. Participants in the WBL program receive academic credit while engaging in supervised work experiences, internships, and apprenticeships. This program bridges the gap between classroom learning and professional practice, offering students opportunities to explore career pathways and develop essential workplace competencies. WBL participants have the chance to apply classroom knowledge in authentic work settings, fostering personal and professional growth. By participating in the WBL program, Georgia students cultivate valuable networks, enhance their resumes, and lay the groundwork for successful transitions into post-secondary education or the workforce.
