Work-based learning experiences are activities at the high school level that involve actual work experience or connect classroom learning to work. The least intensive level of exposure to work-based learning might occur in traditional work experience and vocational programs (including cooperative education, distributive education, or vocational courses) that do not offer work site experience. The next level of exposure may entail the integration of academic and vocational/occupational curricula, as in the case of Tech Prep programs, but would not include work site experience. At the highest level, there is full integration of academic and vocational/occupational curriculum with work site experience.
