WBL Descriptions
| Code | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apprenticeship | An employer-driven model and form of experiential learning that combines on-the-job learning as a paid employee with related classroom instruction in order to increase an apprentice’s skill level and wages. |
| 2 | On-the-job Training | Structured learning conducted in the work setting under the direction of one or more of the employer’s personnel. Training can be paid or unpaid, that is specifically linked to the content of a program of study and school credit. |
| 3 | Clinical Experience | One of the more critical experiences for healthcare science students is exposure to patients in a clinical setting. This type of experience will allow you to ensure that you enjoy working with patients and that you are well suited for a career in medicine. Field Experience for students in the Early Childhood Education, Teacher Cadet and Para-educator programs is an experience in which students are supervised by a clinical teacher in a student teaching experience for a minimum of 30 contact hours. |
| 4 | Credit-for-work Experience | Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) means credit for work experience, and Prior Learning Assessment (PLA), refers to the assessments required to approve the workplace learning for credit. CPL and PLA are distinctly different from transfer or applied credit, which recognizes and allows a student to apply relevant college course credit from a different school or earlier course work to a student's credential requirements. Credit for Work Experiences should align with the student’s career aspiration. |
| 5 | Internship | An opportunity in real world environments for exposure to the requirements of a particular occupation or industry, the work environment and the behavioral expectations for success on the job. Such work experiences are not expected to provide formal training for occupational skills, although some skills may be learned. For more detail on this type of WBL refer to your specific program area requirements and quality indicators section of this document. |
| 6 | Pre-apprenticeship | Pre-ApprenticeshipServices and programs, often including classroom instruction, designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in Registered Apprenticeship programs. These programs should have a documented partnership with at least one Registered Apprenticeship program sponsor and together, they expand the participant's career pathway opportunities with industry-based training coupled with classroom instruction. |
| 7 | School-based Enterprise Managed by Students | A school-based enterprise (SBE) is a simulated or actual business conducted within a school. It is designed to replicate a specific business or segment of an industry and assist students in acquiring work experience related to their chosen career cluster. The management and leadership of the business enterprise should be provided by student positions identified in the business. |
| 8 | Industry Sponsored Project | The objective of an industry-sponsored project is to create a unique, high-quality educational opportunity for students, where the educational content will enhance educational ojectives of the program and class to which it is assigned. Industry-Sponsored Projects in any CTE program should meet the following expectations to ensure a quality WBL experience for the student:
