Wisconsin Guide to Implementing

Career-Based Learning Experiences

This guide from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) offers a detailed overview of Career-Based Learning Experiences (CBLEs). It discusses various CBLE types such as internships, apprenticeships, and job shadowing, highlighting their significance in preparing students for future careers. The document outlines practical steps for implementing CBLEs, including planning, preparation, and assessment. It also provides educators with resources and strategies to effectively integrate CBLEs into school curriculum. 

Exposure to CBLE opportunities are important for incarcerated youth as they provide practical skills, work experience, and exposure to different career paths. By participating in career-based learning, incarcerated youth can develop skills that increase their employability upon release, reduce recidivism rates, and facilitate successful reintegration into society by preparing them for meaningful employment opportunities.
