Work-Based Learning for Davenport CTE

What is it?

Work-Based Learning Experiences allow you to explore various careers in a program of study. As you unlock each level of experience, you get the chance to explore a career in a deeper way, and eventually have the opportunity to begin training. Throughout the levels, you are able to identify careers you want to pursue and those you don’t! 

Why should I participate?

Have you ever been very excited about an upcoming event, only to get there and have the reality be a totally different story? Well, that can happen with our career decisions too! In order to really see the light at the end of the tunnel, you have to have a vision for what is at the end! A description of a career may sound one way, but the actual daily work may be a very different situation. How will you know if you never spend any time with a professional that can give you the truth?

Experiences give you the opportunity to touch and see careers you want to explore, allowing you to adapt your plan based on your reactions. Identifying your passions and strengths and how they connect to a career is a goal for these experiences. Once you begin unlocking the levels, the options are unlimited!
