What is work-based learning?

The work-based learning (WBL) program gives students the unique opportunity to jump into the ‘world of work’ with companies and organizations within the community. Scranton Public School students involved in the work-based learning program will have the opportunity to gain real world job experience while earning school credit. 

Work-based learning experiences provide students a space to explore careers they are interested in,  build workplace skills, gain hands-on experience in a professional setting, and prepare for life after high school.
