Creating a better future through innovative solutions in education

Work-based learning

Empowering students and employers through work-based learning that bridges education and real-world experience. 

Why it matters

Work-based learning is all about learning-by-doing. It includes a variety of activities, like internships and apprenticeships, project work, and on-the-job training. All which allow students to gain practical, real-world experience.

Some countries recognise work-based learning as a dual education. It’s a partnership between employers and educational institutions. Both parties work together to provide a mix of theory and practical experience. As such, it is a win-win for students and employers. Students develop the skills and experience they need to succeed in the workforce. It also gives them a taste of different careers, helping them make informed decisions about their future.

Work-based learning also benefits employers. It helps bridge the gap between education and real labour demands. Employers get access to graduates ready for the real world.
