What is Work Based Learning?
- Work-based learning is an authentic learning experience that allows students to explore their career goals, interests, and abilities while applying their academic and technical knowledge and skills in a real-world context.
- Work-based Learning activities are planned and supervised by instructional staff in collaboration with business, industry, or community partners.
- High quality work-based learning will provide effective and equitable experiences to empower all students to become confident workers and culturally competent citizens of New York State.
The Southern Westchester BOCES Work-Based Learning Program provides students opportunities to apply classroom learning to workplace experiences . The Work-Based Learning Program has been designed to promote positive work experiences and students’ success in both post-secondary education and careers.
Our students can benefit from many experiences, including:
- Informational interview
- Offering student tours
- Working with students in the classroom (technical mentoring)
- Job shadowing (student observations)
- Serving as a career mentor
- Providing an internship
- Providing paid/unpaid work experience
