Work-Based Learning (WBL) internships and apprenticeships are structured educational experiences that integrate classroom learning with work experience.  

It provides an opportunity for juniors and seniors to start preparing for a career while still in high school. Enrollment in a career pathway in the freshman and sophomore years prepares students for a successful Work-Based Learning experience.

Through Work-Based Learning, students are able to earn school credit while learning from skilled professionals, increase career options and future employability, strengthen academic skills, experience the connection between education and real-life work skills and experience potential careers in the workplace.  Work-Based Learning is a year-long commitment to one work-site placement.
