Employment Preparedness

What is the Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan? The Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan is used to structure youth employment placements, including summer jobs, internships, cooperative education placements, volunteer and service-learning experiences, and more. It is a two-page document (or a series of four screens online), designed as an easy-to-use system for focusing on identifying and assessing the skills developed through worksite learning experiences. The Work-Based Learning Plan includes a job description, a description of the Employability Skills and Career and Workplace Specific Skills used in the student’s placement, and a performance review section.
