WBL 1914 - Work-Based Learning

Career and Technical Education

Semester Credit Hours: 4

These courses are structured work-site experiences for which the student, program area teacher, work-based learning coordinator, and worksite supervisor/mentor develop and implement a business/education contract (training agreement). The training agreement is designed to integrate the student’s academic and technical skills into a work environment. Regular meetings and seminars with college personnel for supplemental instruction and feedback (progress reviews) will be included. The employing firm and the type of work experience must be related to the student’s training objective. Work-Based Learning may be substituted for a required course with prior approval of the advisor, Work-Based Learning Coordinator, and Dean. Work-Based Learning coordinators offer co-op work opportunities and job placement services. The offices for Work-Based Learning are located in the Administration Building.
