The Georgia Work-Based Learning Program assists businesses with building a highly trained, technologically sophisticated and career oriented young work force. 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.
Super Lawn Technologies, a manufacturing company in middle Georgia, experiences huge success through the first ever Work Based Learning partnership with local schools. Learn how they have given energetic and smart students a chance to gain valuable work experience while getting paid.
“Without support from the WBL coordinators who really KNOW the kids...we may not have as much success.”

Bri Cribbs – Effingham Country High School
Bri completed the Patient Care Fundamentals pathway and received her Patient Care Technician certification. Through WBL she was able to intern at Effingham County Middle School with the school nurse her 11th grade year and with the Springfield Elementary school nurse her senior year. Her duties included charting, vitals, strep and flu tests, and general first aid tasks.
At Springfield Elementary, she also operated the TeleMed system which is an live online system in which the school nurse can conference call with the doctor and send vital signs, tests, throat and ear checks etc.
Her WBL experience confirmed that she wants to be a nurse and will succeed in this career field. Bri will be attending The Technical College of the Low Country and will major in nursing.
