Work Based Learning Opportunities

In Beaufort County School District, eligible students have opportunities to explore Career & Technology programs that will assist in the preparation of career choices and life-long learning.

A Work-Based Learning Experience (non-credit bearing) occurs when the student is enrolled in a Career and Technology Education (CATE) course and participates in a short-term work-based experience (such as structured field trip, school-based enterprise, job shadowing, internship, mentoring, service learning, etc.). The work-based learning experience is short-term in nature, and provides an opportunity for learning as part of a CATE course.

A Work-Based Learning Course (credit-bearing) is a structured, stand-alone course that is taken within a CATE Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP)-coded program. Each work-based learning course (credit bearing) has an assigned CATE course code. Guidelines must be followed in order to award the Carnegie unit of credit upon successful completion of the course.
