WBL Capstone is a stand-alone course that prepares students for college and/or a career. This course occurs in real or simulated workplace settings and involves an employer assigning a student meaningful job tasks to develop his or her skills, knowledge, and readiness for work. A clear partnership agreement and training plan is developed by the student, parent or guardian, school, and employer partner to guide the student’s work-based experiences and assist in evaluating achievement and performance. Related instruction shall be organized and planned around the activities associated with the student’s individual job and career objectives in a pathway and shall be taught either on-the-job or in a classroom setting during the same semester the student is participating in the work-based experience. For a student to become employable, the related instruction should cover: (a) employability skills, and (b) specific occupational competencies.
This course may be offered to Juniors who complete curriculum in an exemplary fashion. Students will be placed in an internship 4 out of 5 days per week as such, will need to be 18 years old at the start of the school year and have reliable transportation. It is NOT guaranteed.

Work-Based Learning Requirement
Students enrolled in the Work-Based Learning course are required to complete/document 75 work hours each grading period. Students are hired by a comparable business or industry prior to the starting of the school year. The work schedule will be 4 days a week during their ACC scheduled hours, reporting to the ACC the remaining day. In order to be eligible, students must be 18 years old at the start of the school year and have reliable transportation.
Before beginning any internship, students meet with Ms. Ford, College and Career Pathway Coordinator, to complete the required onboarding process. This includes:
- Internship Agreement
- Parent/Guardian Consent Form
- Training Plan
All required documentation is managed digitally through JobReady360, an online platform and mobile app that allows students, parents, and employers to easily track and submit progress and paperwork.
Work-Based Learning is a critical component of the student's career preparation, helping them build professional skills and gain real-world experience in their chosen field.
