Welcome to Work-Based Learning for Teachers

Work-Based Learning is one of the most powerful ways to help students connect classroom learning with future careers. By providing authentic experiences that expose students to professionals, workplaces, and real-world applications, teachers can help students see the relevance of what they are learning while inspiring them to explore future opportunities.

This page is designed to support teachers in bringing career-connected learning into the classroom. Whether you're looking to invite a guest speaker, schedule a career presentation, organize a workplace tour, connect students with industry professionals, or incorporate other work-based learning experiences into your curriculum, you'll find the resources and request forms needed to get started.

Work-Based Learning doesn't have to be a large-scale project. Even a single classroom presentation, virtual career conversation, or industry partnership can provide meaningful experiences that help students develop career awareness, strengthen employability skills, and make connections between academic content and life beyond high school.

Together, we can ensure every Harlem student has opportunities to explore careers, engage with our community, and graduate with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to succeed in college, careers, military service, apprenticeships, and beyond.

Thank you for helping make learning relevant, engaging, and future-focused for every student.
