Students Need Real-World Skills

Beyond academic knowledge, students require practical professional skills, networking opportunities, and hands-on experience to compete in today's job market.

Resource-Intensive Programs

Building effective work-based learning requires dedicated staff, extensive business networking, ongoing management, and significant time investment.

Budget Constraints

The overhead costs of hiring full-time staff and managing comprehensive programs can be prohibitive for many private and charter schools.
