work based learning

As Indiana’s new technical education overhaul rolls out for highschoolers across the state, will work-based learning take hold, as intended, and transform how younger Hoosiers get job-ready?

Lawmakers voted to advance a work-based learning bill Tuesday that expands students’ use of new education grants – including to get their driver's licenses.

The House Education Committee moved forward a bill Wednesday that would make changes to some sections of a sweeping work-based learning bill signed into law last year.

Consultants say there's a need for student-centered learning that personalizes each student’s education by teaching them skills and helping them gain experience.
