What is Work-Based Learning?

Work-Based Learning (WBL) connects businesses with emerging talent by integrating hands-on, real-world experience into education. Through structured opportunities like internships, apprenticeships, and on-the-job training, students gain practical skills while businesses develop a skilled, work-ready talent pipeline.
