How do students become involved in work-based learning?
If students are interested in participating in a work-based learning activity, they should contact their school’s work-experience coordinator or ask a teacher how to get involved. Students should have a general idea of the career area they would like to explore, but this is not necessary. It may be necessary, however, for students to develop or update their résumés to share with potential employers. Work-based learning experiences should also be discussed by a student’s Individual Education Program (IEP) team and included in the IEP.
