Work-based learning (WBL) involves students gaining practical experience in real-world work environments. WBL experiences help students develop skills directly related to careers and enables students to explore career interests, build their resumes, and prepare for postsecondary success. There are specific funding sources, such as Perkins V, that help fund WBL programming.
Work-based learning opportunities can include internships, job shadowing, apprenticeships, cooperative education programs, and more. These experiences allow students to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings, gain professional skills, and establish connections in their desired fields. Within Kuder Connect 2 Business, administrators can set tailored opportunity requirements for each type of WBL opportunity aligned with state requirements.
To connect students with work-based learning opportunities, schools can partner with local businesses, industries, and community organizations. Creating a database of available internships and apprenticeships, and offering support for application processes, are key strategies to facilitate these opportunities. Educators can maintain a database of businesses and opportunities using Kuder Connect 2 Business that allows students to view available opportunities aligned with their career interests.
