Employers
Work-Based Learning enables employers to play an active role in shaping the quality of their future workforce. Through Work-Based Learning, employers are able to increase the skill levels of potential workers, work with the WBL Coordinator to develop a curriculum based on industry standards, recruit and screen potential employers, reduce turnover of entry-level employees through the hiring of Work-Based Learning graduates and improve competitiveness in the international marketplace.
Arabia's WBL program is always in need of local businesses and organizations that would like to assist with job placements of WBL students with internships or employment opportunities.
