Workbased Learning
Wisconsin high school students have many opportunities to learn about the world of work. In fact, the majority of high school students work sometime during their high school years. Students who participate in school-supervised work-based learning have additional opportunities to learn employability skills, and with many programs, occupational skills related to their high school courses. School-supervised work-based learning reinforces for students the connection between work and school, provides a chance for meaningful contact with adults/mentors, improves their chances for successful employment as young adults, and helps solidify career interests.
