Fast Fact: Work-Based Learning for Students with Disabilities
Work-based learning experiences for students with disabilities are supervised, school-coordinated activities which provide opportunities for students to achieve employment related competencies in a workplace environment. These
activities extend the classroom into the workplace and are related to students’ career interests and program of study.
Work-based learning experiences involve assessment of students’ interests, aptitudes, and abilities while learning about career possibilities. These experiences can also increase the likelihood of employment and community integration for students with disabilities when they become adults, help to teach 21st century workplace readiness skills, and support national and state initiatives.
