Planning and Practice: Work-Based Learning for Deaf Youth

Work Based Learning (WBL) provides students opportunities to apply what they learn in the classroom to career settings, an important step for preparing them for life after high school. Benefits of WBL programs include improving communication skills, problem-solving skills, and self-confidence. These early hands-on work experiences also lead to improved postsecondary outcomes and sustained long-term employment. Outcomes of WBL programs also show that they can help youth experience greater job satisfaction, build a professional network and references, and lead to higher wages.

Join us on April 20th at 1 pm CST to learn more from two seasoned professionals, Jennifer Weeks and Kristy Buffington, who will share tips and strategies for developing and sustaining WBL programs for deaf youth.
