8/27/2025 – Managing All Forms of Work-Based Learning

JobReady360 is designed to be a flexible WBL management tool, and it categorizes different types of experiences to ensure proper tracking and reporting. Here is a comparison of the capabilities of four key WBL types within the platform:

1. Student-Based
This is the most comprehensive and classic form of WBL tracking in JobReady360, typically used for long-term, intensive experiences.

  • Primary Use: Internships, co-ops, apprenticeships, and capstones. These are structured, ongoing experiences where a student works directly for a business.
  • Capabilities: This type is for long-term, intensive experiences like internships and apprenticeships. It offers comprehensive tracking features, allowing students to log detailed work hours, describe their daily work, and complete necessary forms like training agreements. WBL coordinators and employers can use the platform to verify hours, sign off on forms, and document on-site visits, ensuring full accountability and a complete record of the student’s hands-on learning.

2. Events
This WBL type is designed for short-term, one-time or infrequent career exploration activities.

  • Primary Use: Career fairs, guest speaker presentations, company tours, or workshops. These are non-intensive experiences that provide broad career awareness.
  • Capabilities: This category is designed for short, one-time activities focused on career awareness. Instead of detailed hour logs, its primary function is to track student attendance at events like career fairs, guest speaker presentations, or industry tours. The platform helps educators manage pre- and post-event forms, and the logged attendance contributes to a student’s overall portfolio, providing a simple yet effective way to document exposure to various career paths.

3. Project-Based
This WBL type is for experiences that revolve around a specific, often time-limited, project.

  • Primary Use: Projects assigned by an employer, work-simulated projects within a school-based enterprise, or capstone projects where students collaborate with a business partner to solve a real-world problem.
  • Capabilities:  It’s ideal for school-based enterprises or projects where students collaborate with a business to solve a real-world problem. The platform helps students, educators, and mentors track progress against project milestones, upload final deliverables, and assess the development of key skills. This feature allows for the documentation of a project’s entire lifecycle, from concept to completion.

4. Self-Reported
This is the most flexible category, designed for student-initiated experiences that aren’t formally coordinated by the school.

  • Primary Use: Part-time jobs, volunteer work, or informal job shadowing not arranged by the school. This is for experiences that may not have a formal agreement or worksite visit component.
  • Capabilities: The platform allows students to independently log their hours and tasks. It can then be used to send a verification link to a supervisor for simple, non-intensive verification, which ensures these valuable experiences are also captured in the student’s complete WBL portfolio.
