Work-Based Learning (Formerly Cooperative Education) (Changes to the 2012 CIT Work-Based Learning Manual) (Revised: November 2014)(December 2015) Work-Based Learning is a structured component of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) curriculum that integrates classroom instruction with productive, progressive, supervised, experiences/apprenticeships (Paid) and internships (Unpaid), related to students’ career objectives. Content is planned for students through a cooperative arrangement between the school and employer as a component of work-based learning. Definitions: Work-Based Experiences/Apprenticeships are paid work experiences for eligible 11th and 12th grade students where experiences, hours worked, and wages earned are monitored and documented by the employer and the coordinator. (Paid work experience herein referred to as Apprenticeship) Work-Based Experiences/Internships are unpaid work experiences for eligible 11th and 12th grade students where experiences and hours worked are monitored and documented by a supervisor/mentor and the coordinator. (Unpaid work experience herein referred to as Internship) Standalone-with Seminar WBL Program is a program where the coordinator goes through Business Industry Compliance (BIC) as an independent class while teaching WBL Seminar (at the LEA discretion), during the regular school day. Standalone-without Seminar WBL Program is a program where the coordinator goes through Business Industry Compliance (BIC) as an independent class and does not teach WBL Seminar (at the LEA discretion), during the regular school day. WBL Seminar is not a required component, but can be continued as a local education agency (LEA) decision under the current regulations requiring a once per week meeting for the WBL work-based experiences/apprenticeships or internships. Students enrolled in WBL programs are not required to participate in the seminar. However, they must report weekly hours worked or hours acquired through internships. WBL is supervised by a teacher who: Holds a Class B or higher certificate in CTE Has two years classroom teaching experience in CTE Has taken the Functions of the Coordinator or Principles of Coordination coursework Completes one (1) hour of Child Labor Law training annually. Purpose/Objective The purpose of WBL is to provide work-based experiences in approved training stations that typically cannot be obtained in the classroom.
