Free Self-Paced Online Course: Work-Based Learning (VCU Center on Transition Innovations, CTI)

Description:

Self-Paced Online Course: Work-Based Learning - More than just passing classes and graduating from high school, education leads students to the ultimate goal of employment and integration into their communities.

We will go over the process for developing paid and unpaid work-based learning experiences in the community as well as explore issues regarding implementation and support of paid and unpaid work-based learning experiences in order to help maximize student outcomes.

Featuring videos, practical activities, and high-quality resources, this course is free, accessible, and provides 5 recertification points.
