 Responsibilities of Parents in WBL

Parents remain the number one influence on young people. Therefore, if a work-based program is to reach all students, parents must recognize its value to their own children and be willing to encourage participation. Since many work-based experiences occur off school premises or outside of normal school hours, parents must be willing to assume a portion of the responsibility for their children’s participation, including risks associated with transportation and indirectly monitored activities.


Parents Role:

 Responsibilities of Businesses Participating in WBL

The best partnerships require planning, commitment, energy, and patience. They require serious focus and defined purpose. Partnerships are worth the effort, but they require an understanding of the different business and industry cultures including perception and valuation of time, measures of success, comfort with the work/school environment, planning/management skills, market orientation, scheduling priorities, reward structure, and an understanding of working with youth.

Responsibilities of the District as the Facilitator of WBL

An effective work-based learning program must be a school or district initiative rather than the domain of a single individual. The best programs involve coordinators, teachers, and counselors and have the active support of the administration.

Responsibilities of a WBL Student

WBL experiences require a high level of active involvement by the individual student. Although under the supervision of a school coordinator, learning experiences are often carried out independently by the student. It is particularly important that each student be as fully prepared as possible before entering a WBL experience. This includes the development of a clearly communicated and documented system of accountability for all activities.

Evaluation Materials

Employer Evaluations: Employers’ responses to an internship program is essential for maintaining asuccessful operation. Provide employers with forms to evaluate the student’s participation and to evaluate the program.

Training Agreements: Includes a list of responsibilities of the employer, the teacher/coordinator, the parent/guardian, and the student. This document must be signed by all parties.
