The Data Committee is working to build a data dashboard of Work Based Learning Opportunities in the St. Louis Metro area, a searchable work-based learning directory, a wraparound services directory, and RYEC’s Employability Skills resources. Currently, we are dashboarding RYEC’s impact by dashboarding our current coalition’s Work-based Learning Opportunities. The coalition is made up of 15 organizations.
Work-Based Learning (WBL) Definition: Programming in which youth or students are engaged in learning activities that prepare them for employment and in which students interact with employers. WBL can happen as part of in-school or out-of-school programming. (Often they come with a credential, certificate, or referral to another opportunity).
