What is Work Based Learning?
Work Based Learning (WBL) is defined as "sustained interactions between industry or community professionals in a real workplace setting." There are a variety of ways which students can participate in WBL experiences. These experiences will help them navigate their career pathway and become better prepared to enter the workforce upon graduation. Below are some examples of ways WBL is happening in the Alliance Career Tech Planning District (ACTPD).
