Work-Based Learning Experience
Our Work-Based Learning Experience (WBLE) program assist students to explore career paths and build the skills needed to obtain and maintain desired career employment.
About WBLE
WBLE is a Pre-Employment Training Service that is time-limited and community-based. We believe in a diverse and inclusive workforce, and our program reflects this. Students participating in the WBLE interact with individuals without disabilities to the same extent that potential co-workers in comparable positions interact with other persons.
The Course
Our course prepares individuals for employment. Job seekers will learn valuable soft skills such as communication, teamwork, work ethic, and self-confidence. Additionally, we provide necessary job search techniques such as resume building, career exploration, and interview preparation that will give the job seeker a competitive edge in the job market.
Assisting Participants with Disabilities
WBLE is intended to assist participants with disabilities to explore career paths and gain general employability skills needed to obtain and maintain competitive integrated employment. WBLE services use the workplace or real work to provide participants with the knowledge and skills that will help them connect school experiences to real-life work activities and future career opportunities. These opportunities are meant to engage, motivate, and augment the learning process.
