The Arvada Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with an action team of education, business and non-profit partners, created this Work-Based Learning Toolkit to help guide businesses through the terminology, data, roles, benefits and action steps of work-based learning (WBL). WBL connects local students and adults with businesses in an intentional way to engage in real-world work experiences. This equitable, flexible approach to hands-on industry experience is designed to upskill the community’s talent pipeline to directly serve the academic, technical and social needs of the local economy.
The Work-Based Learning Toolkits are now an Interactive Workshop!
Navigate through the bite-sized modules and share your experience and learnings in the comments section with other participants.
Once you mark all modules as “Complete” your profile in Seamless WBL will be marked as “WBL Workshop Certified.”
