WBL Workshop #1

In the first Work-Based Learning (WBL) Workshop of the school year we were introduced with the three "W's "of WBL. The why, what, and where. Then after the introduction for the Workshop, we discussed "Why do CTE students need WBL?" And the talked about the CTE diploma requirements as well as the WBL requirements needed to be completed by CTE students. Those included talking about WBL application, discipline policy, and confidentiality agreement. After we finished talking  about those requirements, we were each handed a paper where we could check off our requirements, and another paper where we could record our hours of participating in a Career Fair, or volunteering or doing an internship. Then after we received those papers, we talked about a different topic including, "Where will the WBL experiences take place?" We discussed how former and current students have completed internships, and participated in Career Fairs, as well as students in the future who will be completing Job Shadowing and Apprenticeships. So that was a quick recap of how the first WBL workshop took place, and what were the few key points in what we discussed how it effects us in the future.
