What is Work-Based Learning or WBL?
Work-based learning (WBL) describes a broad set of learning experiences that place students in real-world work settings. WBL experiences provide opportunities for students to explore potential career interests, fields, or professional settings and help students determine whether they want to engage further in future training or career choices.
SchooLinks takes WBL to a new level. We help districts promote opportunities with students, but we help your district develop long-term and trusting relationships with your local and regional businesses to establish avenues for collaboration. Through this collaboration, your district can create scalable workflows to support the needs of your students and community.
