Work-Based Learning

Our Work-Based Learning office connects students to jobs. Work based learning opportunities include:

  • Job Shadows - students are placed with a business/industry for a day and are able to observe someone on the job to see what a certain job is like.
  • Non-Paid Work Experiences - students are matched with area professionals in their areas of interest and work alongside other employees.
  • Co-op/Capstone Experience - students are released from their school for a portion of the day and placed with an area employer for a paid experience. Students gain practical work experience before high school graduation.
  • Internships - students gain experience working with an area employer

If you would like to post a job for one of our students, please see our Job Board.
