Join Jobs for the Future (JFF) on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET, as we unveil our newly evolved Work-Based Learning Framework—building on our 2017 foundation with new tools to help move theory into action.
Work-based learning is a comprehensive career preparation strategy that combines hands-on workplace training with aligned learning experiences. This approach allows youth and adults to build employability and technical skills, gain industry insights, and develop professional connections so they can find, enter, and succeed in fulfilling careers. When implemented thoughtfully, high-quality work-based learning experiences lead to better employment outcomes and higher wages for participants while addressing employers' critical talent needs.
There's a growing national movement to increase the use of work-based learning to strengthen the connections between education and training, create a more skilled talent pool, and better meet labor market demands. Our updated framework provides the road map for educators, employers, workforce professionals, policymakers, and more, to be ready to be part of this transformation.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from JFF experts about the new framework and how to implement it. This informational webinar is for stakeholders at any stage of developing or implementing work-based learning programs. Whether you're a school district designing new work-based learning programs, an employer evaluating existing ones for continuous improvement, or a community-based organization looking at a new approach—this framework has information for you!
