Work Based Learning (WBL)
WBL offers on and off campus internships. Internships are directly related to their chosen industry or interest. Supervision is provided by KKHS staff specifically assigned to WBL.

WBL provides students with an opportunity to use and expand the knowledge and skills they have obtained within their industry classrooms.
