Promising Practices in Work-based Learning

This area of the site highlights some successful work-based learning programs from across the country. We can learn a great deal from the experience of others.

Selection Criteria

The programs listed here have been able to make the business case for work-based learning. In other words, these programs, while meeting specific learning objectives and associated program reporting requirements, have also responded to employers’ needs by addressing specific business problems. Specifically, we have looked for good program objectives, meeting target group needs, innovative activities, providing solutions, and well-measured outcomes and benefits.

If you are involved with, or are aware of, a work-based learning program that is a good example of “making the business case,” please submit it to us.

(For a more wide ranging and exhaustive listing of workplace learning and promising practices in workforce development, please see: Promising Practices – Resources for the Workforce System.)
