Work-Based Learning

Career Internship / Work Based Learning

Grades: 11th, 12th
Prerequisites: No prerequisites, but one to two years of career connected electives recommended
Additional requirements: Students must have reliable transportation to/from the internship site.
Fees:  none
Dual Credit:  No

Students have the opportunity to connect what they learn in school with worksite application, enabling a smooth transition into the work force and/or education beyond high school. Some examples of the different types of Work-Based Learning experiences being offered at CEC will include job shadowing, internships, and apprenticeships.

  • Students will work a minimum of 5 hours per week in the field of their choice.
  • One-to-one learning opportunity
  • Work Based Learning experiences are usually unpaid.
  • The course combines both face-to-face and asynchronous instruction, as well as the internship component which averages 5+ hours per week.

Additional Course Information:  Students should have reliable transportation to/from their internships. Course will begin with face-to-face sessions and then transition to site-based experience once internship placement is complete.

Nursing Assistant Program Suggested Course Pairing: Since the CEC Nursing Assistant Program is a one semester course, it is recommended that students accepted into the program consider backing up their semester with the CEC Work-Based Learning Internship class.  This will allow students to spend the semester before or after their Nursing Assistant semester exploring healthcare careers during a semester-long internship experience coordinated by the CEC WBL class.  This is NOT required, but highly recommended.  The WBL class is offered during the same session as the Nursing Assistant program.
