General Information
A work-based learning experience is designed to bridge the gap between school,
work and post-secondary opportunities. Through a related work-based learning
experience, a student is provided on-the-job training opportunities that
are directly related to a career goal and course of study identified through
the Student Education Occupation Plan, SEOP. Appropriate supervision by
a school/district coordinator must be maintained through the duration of
the work-based learning experience.
