Tool Search: Work-Based Learning
In Iowa, Work-Based Learning includes "sustained project-based learning in partnership with an employer, simulated work experiences aligned with industry-recognized credentials, high-quality pre-apprenticeships aligned to an apprenticeship, student learner programs, internships, and apprenticeships” (Senate File 2411). These experiences typically occur during high school and primarily take place in a physical work environment. However, some may be provided in a simulated or virtual work environment within a classroom setting. The Work-Based Learning tool allows staff to record students' participation.
