Work Based Learning offers students school-based and work-based learning opportunities that are related to the students’ career interest areas. Using these components, students begin to prepare for a career while still in high school. Juniors and seniors who meet entrance requirements are encouraged to apply for WBL.
WBL is a one or two year program. Students are placed in paid or unpaid intern or apprenticeship positions depending on the situations. A prerequisite to WBL entrance is successful completion of a related Career Technical/Agricultural Education (CTAE) course or be currently enrolled in a CTAE course that relates to the work position.
Work Based Learning was initiated in Georgia to insure a well-educated and highly skilled workforce. It is designed to bring together the components necessary for a successful career: Education and Experience.
Focus on the Future...
Work Based Learning enables employers to play an active role in shaping the quality of their future workforce.
The WBL Teacher Apprenticeship Program has grown into a very successful and effective work-based learning experience. Students with teaching as a career focus work as unpaid interns in the classrooms at Johnson County Elementary School. Interning under the direction of master teachers, the students have the opportunity to experience many aspects of the teaching field and develop skills necessary for teaching.
