Webinar: Expanding Work-Based Learning Opportunities
Watch a recording of the webinar.
Join the Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF) for an insightful webinar on expanding work-based learning (WBL) opportunities for postsecondary students. This event will delve into the findings from BHEF's recent research, funded by the Strada Education Foundation, that uncovers the key factors that can drive the expansion of high-quality, paid internships for students, thereby boosting their professional skills and employability.
Despite the clear benefits of internships, only half of college students engage in these valuable experiences, in part due to a limited supply of opportunities. Understanding the perspectives of – and challenges faced by – employers is essential to addressing this gap.
