2. Importance
Academic experience only takes you so far; there is only so much you can learn from a book or from your teacher
It is up to you to turn the experience into a positive example of success
Work-based learning can lead to jobs, college, and more opportunities for you

3. Importance (continued)
Companies value work-based learning and some require it before hiring
70% of employers require new hires to have
on-the- job training
Students will have the opportunity to network and find mentors
You will learn skills that you can apply later

4. Importance (continued)
Work-based learning dramatically increases the chances of students being hired
It’s a great way to “test it out” for both the student and the employer
This is your chance to make a great impression
