School-Supervised Work-Based Opportunities
Wisconsin students have many opportunities to learn about the world of work. The majority of students work sometime during their high school years. Students who participate in school-supervised work-based learning have additional opportunities to gain employability skills, and with many programs, occupational skills related to their high school courses. School-supervised work-based learning reinforces the connection between work and school, provides an opportunity for meaningful contact with adults/mentors, improves their chances for successful employment as young adults, and helps solidify career interests.
