Work-Based Learning in Action

This resource from Jobs for the Future (JFF) includes case studies that highlight effective work-based learning models. JFF identified seven principles that support low-skilled youth and adults seeking to enter and excel in a career. The principles include: supporting entry and advancement in a career track; providing meaningful job tasks that build career skills and knowledge; offering compensation; identifying target skills and how gains will be validated; rewarding skill development; supporting college entry, persistence, and completion; and providing comprehensive student supports.
