WHAT IS WORK-BASED LEARNING AT THE

ACADEMY FOR ADVANCED STUDIES?

Work-Based Learning placements represent the pinnacle of the Career-Related Education experience.

This school-based program allows associates to earn academic credit for their part-time job.

There are several opportunities for associates to participate in Work-Based Learning. These include Cooperative Education, Internship, Youth Apprenticeship, Employability Skill Development, and Clinical Experiences.

WORK-BASED LEARNING is a partnership between schools, businesses, and community members as it aims to prepare high school students/associates with knowledge and training that will assist in producing a skilled workforce.
