So, what is Work-Based Learning and how does CareerLink help?
CareerLink QC is the bridge linking students and career seekers to work-based learning opportunities that employers are offering. These opportunities are hands-on learning experiences such as internships, job shadows, tours and apprenticeships that offer real-world insights into careers.
If you’re a student or job seeker, you can combine these opportunities with technical education in the classroom to explore career opportunities and gain training to advance your career.
If you're a business, work-based learning can help you “develop your own” talent, ensuring that skills and qualifications acquired through hands-on learning programs meet your workforce needs, particularly for hard-to-fill positions. This contributes to the Quad Cities’ economic health by creating skilled workers, reducing unemployment and encouraging new investment.
