What is WBL?

​WBL and YAP offer high school students a unique opportunity to prepare for future education and career goals by learning from an experienced mentor and practicing applicable skills in a workplace setting. Work-Based Learning and Youth Apprenticeship students are expected to excel in three major areas; academic performance, school and workplace behavior, and job performance.

Mission and Vision

The mission of the Work-Based Learning Program is to assist in providing a highly trained, technologically sophisticated and career-oriented young workforce. This is accomplished by developing partnerships between businesses, industry, students, parents, school systems, coordinators, post-secondary institutions, and registered apprenticeships which will lead the participating student into meaningful careers.
