Work-Based Learning

Work-Based Learning is an education strategy that provides students with experiences to apply academic and technical skills and develop employability skills. This strategy looks different for each grade band: elementary, middle, and high school. As an initiative created by Governor Haslam’s Rural Task Force, the Work-Based Learning (WBL) Grants will be awarded to projects that promote community-led work-based learning to improve career awareness and readiness of students and improve local/regional talent pipeline. These projects can be new or expansions of existing programs.
