In order to develop legal, safe, and effective work-based learning programs and experiences, school personnel must understand labor and safety laws and practices, sales and marketing, career development strategies, and effective systems for organizing, monitoring and evaluating student learning opportunities with businesses and community partners.
This course provides participants with the knowledge base needed to develop a coherent work-based learning program for a school or organization. As a primary reference, this course uses the Vermont Agency of Education Vermont Work-Based Learning Manual: Guidelines and Tools to Support Work-Based Learning Experiences for All Learners (2017).
The course curriculum is designed to provide participants with the core knowledge base for operating under the Work-Based Learning educator’s license endorsement in the state of Vermont or other positions that allows for the implementation of some or all areas of study.
