Work-Based Learning

Work-based learning merges theory with practice by integrating a training plan into the workplace through a series of meaningful tasks. Students and employees who participate in this approach gain hands-on knowledge and skills that will give them an advantage as they begin or advance in their careers.

People of all ages, experience levels, and backgrounds can benefit from work-based learning. On-the-Job Training prepares students who are just beginning their careers as well as adults seeking a career change. Incumbent Worker Training Grants aid established employees who want to acquire new skills in order to advance in their industry. Triad Career Connect and other youth work experiences are available to provide opportunities for real-world knowledge and the possibility to earn certifications or credentials for their future careers.

Employers who implement work-based learning programs witness numerous advantages in addition to wage reimbursements. Increased efficiency is achieved through individualized training plans developed by our Business Services Coordinators in collaboration with the employer. These programs also support workplace diversity and inclusion and are an excellent solution to bridging skills gaps within businesses. Overall, employees who experience work-based learning reciprocate investment in the company and start their first day equipped with necessary skills and expectations.
