What Is Work-Based Learning And Why Is It Important?

Work-Based Learning provides a combination of school and workplace learning with local employers. Students either work off-site at an employer’s location, or employers come on-site to the classroom. Students learn first-hand how to succeed in the workforce, learning what it takes to be successful while gaining both an education and valuable technical skills in their chosen pathway. More than ever before, students need to know how their classroom experiences translate to the real world. Teaching the “why” in the classroom and how it transitions to the workplace is essential

How AP courses prepare students for college and career success

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are a type of high school curriculum offered in many schools across the United States. These courses are designed to provide students with college-level material and challenge them to think critically and independently. The AP program is run by the College Board, a non-profit organization that also administers the SAT and other college-preparatory exams.

Why Work-Based Learning is beneficial to high school students

Work-based learning is a valuable opportunity for high school seniors as it allows them to gain real-world experience and skills that will prepare them for the workforce.

One of the main benefits of work-based learning is that it allows students to explore different career options. By participating in internships, apprenticeships, and co-op programs, students can gain hands-on experience in fields that interest them, which can help them make more informed decisions about their future careers.
