BRAND
Participation in Work-Based Learning communicates the commitment of the educational institution to the community
ENTHUSIASM
Employers bring real-world industry knowledge and a passion for their careers to the coursework
SUCCESSION
Work-Based Learning participants are able to learn about the process of getting, keeping, and advancing in a career directly from industry experts
TALENT

Typically one-time experiences at school or through a huakaʻi or field trip to build student awareness of the wide range of career, college, and community options available to them
Exploration activities go beyond brief exposure of awareness-building experiences by extending the experience through multiple interactions or more rigorous student participation
Preparation level experiences strengthen student content knowledge and skills through coursework linked to extended interaction with community and industry professionals
Training experiences are extended interactions that require the application of the learned technical, employability, and academic knowledge in real-world industry settings
