Work-based learning opportunities may include: paid work experience, volunteer service, job shadowing, worksite visits and career exploration and planning. Students benefit from work-based learning by acquiring workplace experience and work readiness skills, exploring career options, connecting with adult role models and increasing self-esteem.
