Work based learning
Work-based learning is a strategy that combines skill development with real-world training opportunities. Internships, apprenticeships, and other activities create opportunities to develop the skills needed to succeed!
Internships provide a temporary work experience with an employer and allow you to gain skills, build your resume, and make connections within your desired field. These experiences can be paid or unpaid, and are typically facilitated by another organization (college, high school, workforce center).
