WHAT
IS
WBL?
WHY WBL?
INCREASE RELEVANCE
SAVE $$$
LEARN ESSENTIAL PWR SKILLS
Students who have a career goal are more likely to understand the connection between their future and the academic content they are required to master in high school.
Students who participate in WBL begin to gain skills in communicating and collaborating, being open to feedback and improvement, showing initiative, problem-solving and critical thinking, and increasing creative thought!
By participating in WBL, students are more likely to know what they like and don’t like, and can move directly into the workforce, or into a postsecondary credential or degree that fits their career path. Why wait until college to explore careers when students can do it now for free!
INCREASE ENGAGEMENT
Students who discover their passion have a sense of direction, hope for their future, and are more likely to graduate!
