Training Experiences
Training Experiences
Training experiences go beyond the brief exposure of awareness-building activities either by extending the experience through multiple interactions, or through more rigorous student preparation, reflection, and debrief. Through exploration activities, students make more specific goals for their future, gaining a concrete understanding of the middle school, high school, and postsecondary education and training that will help them prepare for additional work-based learning activities to help them achieve their career goals.
Training level activities may also include a teacher externship component where teachers are paired with industry opportunities that inform work-based curriculum planning.
They provide the opportunity to:
Apply technical knowledge in an industry worksite setting
Apply career and employability skills in a real-world industry setting
Training Experiences are appropriate for learners at the following levels:
High School
Post-Secondary
Adult
