Work-Based Learning that Works: Building Postsecondary Partnerships and Workforce Pathways

April 28, 8:00 a.m.–Noon
Cost: $175

Participants will use workforce and economic data to identify priority industries, occupations, and skills, then determine the most appropriate post-secondary education and training models for each need. Options may include short-term credentials, Short-Term Pell, pre-apprenticeships, Registered Apprenticeships, internships, work experiences, industry certifications, customized training, and combinations that create stronger talent pipelines.

Most importantly, participants will leave with actionable next steps: a defined workforce priority, an initial WBL model or pathway, identified institutional and external partners, implementation priorities, and a strategy for moving from planning to action. Participants will use a practical Work-Based Learning Toolkit throughout the workshop to begin building or strengthening WBL at their institution.
