Work-Based Learning for K-12 Students
Real World Learning
Work-based learning for K-12 students provides opportunities for business-to-education engagement that helps build our future talent pipeline and retain top tier talent.
Local high school students are participating in Real World Learning for hands-on experiences to understand careers and occupation pathways better. Our goal is for every graduate by 2030 to have work-based learning experience.
To help your business engage in this important talent initiative, the Chamber has developed resources such as this Real World Learning information dashboard.
