There are several components of the Virtual Enterprises International experience that can be used to fulfill work-based learning requirements. These requirements include, but are not limited to, hours towards Option 1 of the CDOS Commencement Credential and/or 4+1 CDOS graduation pathway and the 54 hours of work-based learning that serves as the program quality indicator for Perkins. Not all programs will use all experiences.
Experiences that Will Count as Work-Based Learning in New York:
● Networking events (documentation must be provided of interaction between the student and employer).

Supervised clinical experience involves students performing health care services in a work-related setting after completing instruction and practice in a supervised skills laboratory. The services must be performed under the supervision of an instructor who holds the appropriate NYS license/certification required by the health care discipline for which the students are being prepared (e.g., a licensed New York State Registered Nurse with specific work experience supervises nurse assisting students). Health science programs include 108 hours of supervised clinical experience in the related work setting in addition to all other regulatory requirements.
