WBL: Internship

WBL = Work-Based Learning

A WBL internship is an option for a high school student who has completed extensive school-based preparation related to an identified area of career and academic interest in their Individual Learning Plan (ILP). Internships are usually one-time experiences that lead to course credit and/or pay.

Format

The internship may be a component of the student's schedule during the regular school day, after school hours, or during the summer.  

It is short term or long term, as defined by the work-based learning agreement.

It combines classroom instruction and field experiences.

Examples include but are not limited to: 

  • Semester course covering workplace issues in a student's field of interest, in conjunction with work-based learning experience
  • Seminar one day per week throughout the course of the work-based learning experience
