​Work-Based Learning Manua​l

The Work-Based Learning Manual is a collaborative effort to provide all stakeholders with information on various types of work-based learning such as job shadowing, mentoring, service learning, entrepreneurship programs, school-based enterprises, internship, cooperative education and youth-apprenticeship opportunities. In addition, the manual includes an overview of legal issues and structural guidance for implementing work-based learning at a school level. The Work-Based Learning Resource Page​ has downloadable sampl​e forms and promotional infographics to help document and advertise your work-based learning opportunities.​

For specific course code information on WBL opportunities in career pathways, please refer to the Program of S​tudies.

​

​The Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) program regulation (11 KAR 15:090) has been modified to specify that only CTE pathway approved cooperative education courses may count as more than one course for purposes of satisfying yearly KEES curriculum requirements. Work-based learning opportunities not approved for and connected to CTE career pathways, may only count as one course towards KEES curriculum requirements.
