Work Based Learning(WBL) Highlights and Interest Form
WBL provides students with the ability to be released from 1 or 2 hours on their school schedule if they are employed by an approved employer and the employment is closely tied to the students career pathway. If a student works between 5 – 9 hours a week, we schedule one hour of WBL. If the student works ten or more hours, the student can schedule for two hours of WBL.
Counselors will review transcript and EDP prior to approval of adding WBL to student schedules.
Students do not need to work during the school hours that WBL appears on their schedule, however students are released from school at that time and do not have to attend during those hours.The experience is graded by our Work-Based Learning Supervisor.
Here are a few key things to know now about WBL. For those interested, more details will be shared once the WBL Interest Form (linked below) is completed:
- Students must have a job secured and in place with an accurately and legibly completed WBL contract completed and turned into WBL Supervisor by Monday, August 31st for 1st & 2 quarter placement.
- Students must successfully complete the Work-Based Learning Student/Parent Contract prior to being placed in the experience.
- The students’ regularly scheduled Northview course will remain on the schedule, with the expectation that the students’ attend the classes, until the contract has been approved by WBL Supervisor.
- Students must complete timesheets, due every 2 weeks, to record work attendance.
- Students are expected to complete all timesheets for the entire semester in order to receive a grade or continue with WBL. More details will be shared with the WBL contract.
- Students are expected to work the full 18 weeks of each semester enrolled in WBL.
If you are interested AND you currently have a job, please fill out the Work-Based Learning Google Form. You will then be connected with our WBL Coordinator. Ms. Angela Lewis, and receive the WBL contract and further details on next steps.

Scholarship Scams – Warning Signs
Watch out for the following claims companies will make in an effort to misinform you:
“For a fee, we provide a comprehensive list of scholarships.” Don’t spend money on a fee-based matching service. The biggest and best scholarship databases are available for free on the Web.
“Billions of dollars of award monies going unclaimed.” Statements about funds going unclaimed are simply untrue. If funds are available, students will compete for them.
“We have a money back guarantee.” Legitimate scholarships are always competitive. No one can guarantee that you will win a scholarship.
“We need your credit card or bank account number.” No legitimate scholarship should require your credit card number or bank account numbers.
“We will do all the work.” To receive a scholarship, students must complete the applications and essays themselves. No one else can do the work for them.
