Work Based Learning (WBL) Glossary
Job Shadow:
Students learn about a job by spending an afternoon or entire day as a shadow to a professional worker. Students may meet a variety of employees at one business, or just stay with one specific occupation.
Worksite Tour:
Similar to a field trip, a site tour is an opportunity for a student or group of students to experience a professional environment away from the school campus. This short-term visit allows participants to observe and investigate activities related to a specific career.
Internship:
An opportunity to work in a real-world professional setting and learn about a particular occupation or industry. Students are usually paid hourly or given other financial incentives (grocery or gas cards). The primary goal is to meet adults who can serve as mentors and help students decide if they want to pursue that type of career after high school. Hours range from 5-10/week.
Apprenticeship:
A long-term (1 – 3 years) paid work experience where a student is supervised by a professional to build a specific skill set and earn industry certifications that can lead to a full-time position with the company. Apprenticeships are usually for students in 12th grade or about to graduate from high school; hours range from 16 – 20 hours/week.
