Work-Based Learning (WBL)

Work-based learning is an instructional strategy that equips students with a well-rounded skill set beyond academics. Through participation in a spectrum of work-based learning activities, students are supported to build awareness of postsecondary pathways, develop professional skills, and gain practical work experience.
