Work Based Learning

Work-based learning programs are integral to supporting students with disabilities in their transition to adulthood. These programs provide hands-on, real-world experiences that bridge classroom learning with workplace skills. They may include internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, or supported employment opportunities. By participating in these programs, students develop vocational skills, build self-confidence, and gain a better understanding of workplace expectations. Work-based learning also helps students explore career interests, build professional networks, and potentially secure post-graduation employment. These experiences are crucial in preparing students for the demands of adult life and increasing their chances of successful, long-term employment.
