ACTE's National Work-Based Learning Conference 2026

This session will benefit any school that is creating a work-based learning program for the first time or any district that is looking to give an existing program a fresh start. It will describe the planning and implementation from day 1 for a school district that had no WBL program to the present day. It will also highlight how we used academic data (ACT WorkKeys)  in order to choose those students who would participate in the WBL pilot and how that drove their site placement. Successes as well as challenges will be discussed along with plans to grow the program for the upcoming school year..
