How do I get a job without any experience? How do I get experience without having a job? This is a dilemma that many students face as they prepare themselves for graduation and beyond. Work-based learning allows students to combine classroom learning with professional work experience in their chosen field of study. Your son or daughter can sample career options by participating in a work-based learning opportunity or by experimenting with part-time or summer employment.
Work-Based Learning
Work-based learning provides students with opportunities to study complex subject matter as well as vital workplace skills in a hands-on, "real life" environment. Students have opportunities to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in the classroom to tasks performed in the workplace or community.
