Work-Based Learning Program
Work-Based Learning Program
Work-Based Learning Programs (WBL) are structured experiences that connect the student's career goal and classroom learning with a productive work environment. Work-Based Learning includes a student placement that may be paid or unpaid positions.
Work-Based Learning represents the pinnacle of the Career-Related Education experience. To qualify for a WBL placement, a student must be in grades 11 or 12 and at least 15 years old. Students must also have a defined Career Pathway in order to participate in a Work-Based Learning placement.
This is especially important for successful completion of a student’s pathway in that their job placement is directly related to the curriculum of the pathway classes they have completed or in which they are concurrently enrolled.
Below is the Work-Based Learning Program Presentation Overview for students and parents to review. We want our WBL students to succeed in every way and together we can!
