Work-Based Learning

Work-Based learning experiences offered by Anson County Schools include strategies that allow schools to go beyond the classroom and into the community to develop curriculum competencies.  Students are able to consider different careers, learn workplace behavior, develop industry-specific skills and apply academic skills to the real world of career opportunities.  

Work-Based Learning experiences include:

High school pre-apprenticeships: designed to help students develop workplace skills in a high-wage, high-skill training environment.  Students receive graduation credits and paid apprenticeship training that can lead to adult apprenticeship following graduation.

High school cooperative education: designed to help students develop work-place skills while still in high school.  Students receive graduation credits and paid work-based experience based on a formal plan of training.

Job shadowing: an experience that provides students with the opportunity to spend a designated amount of time (usually a day) on-the-job with a person who is a successful role model in the career area of the student's choice.
