Work-Based Learning

High-Quality Work-Based Learning (HQWBL) is comprised of school-coordinated workplace experiences that are

  • related to students’ career goals and/or interests
  • connected to a course, and
  • performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations
     

HQWBL experiences enable students to apply classroom instruction in a real-world business or service-oriented work environment. The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) recognizes 12 HQWBL experiences.
