Work-based Learning Coordinators combine and coordinate the efforts of many individuals, assuring that work-based learning experiences effectively and efficiently help students develop knowledge, skills, attitudes, and work habits to move successfully into the world of work. WBL Coordinators collaborate with Industry Partners, Career Development, Career Advisors, CTE Instructors, core content instructors, post-secondary institutions, students, and administrators to facilitate internships, apprenticeships, job shadows, paid work, volunteer service, and business tours.  

Students can work for 2 periods during the school day and gain credit for it. Most CWE’s occur during the last 2 periods of the day for a minimum of 90 minutes, which is from about 1:30 to 3:00. Students can work beyond that as agreed upon. Students will receive 1.0 CWE credit (CTE/elective credit) for the school year, or 0.5 CWE credit per semester. Students must be 16 years of age and be able to provide their own transportation. Seniors must have 18.0 credits already earned to participate (19.0 if they desire an off period).
