Work-Based Learning Experiences
• Work-based learning experiences in a group setting may include coordinating a classroom-based program of job training and informational interviews to research employers, work-site tours to learn about necessary job skills, job shadowing, or mentoring opportunities in the community.
• Work-based learning experiences on an individual basis could include work experiences to explore the student’s area of interest through paid and unpaid internships, apprenticeships, short-term employment, fellowships, or on-the-job trainings located in the community.
Getting Started How do I get an Apprenticeship?
Identify an occupation where you have an interest, aptitude or experience.
Commit to meeting the minimum education requirements, such as a high
school diploma, GED or HiSET equivalency test, within six months of start.
Determine whether this will be a good fit. Do you have the commitment,
aptitude, work ethic, and attitude to work under the required job conditions?
Get started! You'll be a part of the workforce and start earning a paycheck
from Day One. You'll receive on-the-job training from skilled mentors. Once
you complete your program, you'll receive a nationally recognized certificate
that announces to employers that you are qualified.
