Work-Based Learning in High School

Work-based learning connects classroom learning with real workplaces, career exploration and practical experience. Students benefit most when the experience is tied to goals, reflection and a broader pathway.

THE PROBLEM

High-school support breaks down when the student story is fragmented.
