Work Based Learning
Students in the WBL program graduate from high school with real-world work experience. WBL is an opportunity to be released from school early to go to work and start gaining some real-world work experience, and get school credit!
You can have a paid part-time position, an unpaid internship or both. We try to relate your work experience to your long-term career goals, but you can also get WBL credit if you just have a general part-time job. This is a great opportunity to build your resume while still in high school.
