Benefits of Work-based Learning

The benefits for work-based learning are monumental and rewarding for students. Students see firsthand the impact of course experiences, career preparation, and career development. In addition, students see the traits and abilities that are needed to be successful in the world of work. Businesses benefit because they can hire students who are truly interested in a specific industry and they can train future workers for that career. The pipeline of qualified workers is built by connecting students who want to work and want to pursue specific careers with future employers. Schools benefit when they see students who are engaged and motivated to come to school and learn. Most importantly, students see firsthand the importance and significance of classroom learning as well as career preparation.
