Work-Based Learning
Work-Based Learning (WBL)
Work-Based Learning is sustained and progressively intensive interactions with employers or community professionals in real workplace settings, to the extent practicable, or simulated environments at an educational institution that foster in-depth, first-hand engagement with the tasks required of a given career field, that are aligned to curriculum, instruction, and Career and Technical Education (CTE) Program standards.
WBL Coordinator Tool Kit
The Work Based Learning Tool Kit (Managing Your Risk) has been developed to assist school district staff with consistent directions and procedures for designing and implementing appropriate solutions when students are placed in work site situations. WBL sample forms can be found here too, such as:
- Sample In-District CTE & Transition Placement Agreement
- Sample CTE Training Agreement
- Sample Training Plan
