Program Overview
The Pathfinder Work-Based Learning Program provides a continuum of real-world opportunities for students at all levels to explore career paths while gaining valuable work experience, building career and college readiness skills, and making valuable connections to the community.
Work-Based Learning Continuum: Students of every age and grade level are exploring careers! Through meaningful field experiences and tours, guest speakers, career fairs, and the ICAP, students learn about work. Project-based learning, internship, and work experiences students learn through work. And students now have the opportunity to learn at work by participating in a multi-year paid apprenticeship.
