High-Quality CTE: Work-Based Learning

Work-Based Learning is one of ACTE's 12 elements of high-quality CTE within the ACTE Quality CTE Program of Study Framework®. The work-based learning element addresses the delivery of a continuum of sustained, meaningful interactions with industry or community professionals that foster in-depth, firsthand engagement with the tasks required in a given career field. Experiences may be delivered in workplaces, in the community, at educational institutions and/or virtually, as appropriate, and include a range of activities such as workplace tours, job shadowing, school-based enterprises, internships and apprenticeships.
