Why Work-Based Learning?
Work-based learning gives you the opportunity to bridge what you are learning in ANY class into your community while exploring potential careers.
You can work, volunteer, intern, do an extended job shadow, and much more.
Talk to your school's Career Specialist about matching your interests with an experience and a class. You may even earn additional credit.
