Work-based learning (WBL) is an educational strategy for students and educators to put theory into practice with real-life work experiences. Work-based learning can vary from job shadowing & internships to simulations & mentoring. It allows students to explore various career paths.
Examples
Teachers @ Work-Twin Counties is a unique professional development opportunity for local educators to connect classroom to workplace. Educators complete a paid one week summer externship in local companies.
Student Internships & Apprenticeships
S.T.E.P. actively works to support and expand work-based opportunities for students in Edgecombe and Nash counties.
