Why encourage students to do a Work-Based Learning experience?

Because it will make your job easier!

It is an opportunity for your students to really understand how what they are learning in your classroom will apply to the real world of their future careers.  Research has shown that students who participate in Work-Based Learning experiences increase their completion of related course-work, improve attendance and have higher graduation rates.

As an educator, you have access to career exploration for your students through many opportunities at Workpaths.com.  Are your students required to do a job shadow?  Do you need a speaker for a classroom that would be a great fit for your lesson plan?  Planning a career fair?  Need to get your whole class out of school for a workplace tour?  Looking for someone to do a mock interview with a student as they prepare for their first job interview?  Or maybe you have a student who needs a mentor?

We’ve got all of these resources and more.  And there’s no charge; we just ask that you utilize Workpaths.com every time you need a Work-Based Learning experience.  We know you want your students to be part of hands-on connection to the curriculum you present daily.
