Our goal is to assist in the creation of a strong support structure between local employers, students and schools. Work-Based Learning supplies talent to address industry workforce shortage needs. We promote an industry-driven system where employers set occupational skills standards, collaborate on curriculum, provide work experience and certify mastery of skills. Focus on the future with Georgia Work-Based Learning.

Our local Work Based Learning program provides sharp, professional students who are talented and eager to learn. We use WBL participants as part of our intern program and enjoy how readily they integrate with our team. It is wonderful to have this resource in our community for creating career paths that benefit small businesses with a work-ready work force to recruit locally from.
Alexis is a senior at Mt. Zion High School. She is a Business Pathway completer, and her MZHS business teachers have prepared her so well that she passed the national certification test in both Microsoft Word and Excel. She is part of the Career Connections Work Based Learning program, and she leaves school early each day to go to her job at Omnicall, where she is a virtual receptionist. Her employers say that she is "very sharp" and "awesome". WAY TO GO ALEXIS! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!
