Understanding Work-Based
Learning

Introduction
As a student in a work-based program, your daily schedule
may be different from those of other students. Your behavior will be
governed by certain state and federal laws that did not affect you
before. Schedule adjustments will need to be made to allow for new
school and work hours. Be prepared to meet new people and accept
new responsibilities. You will spend more time on your own, which
means you will have more freedom. Remember, your success in a
work-based learning program depends a great deal on how well you
handle your freedom and responsibilities.
