Work-based learning

Work-based learning is when you learn by doing a real job. It's like playing pretend while you learn, but instead of pretending, you actually do a real job!

Let's say you want to be a chef when you grow up. You can go to a real restaurant and learn from the chef there. You get to help make real food, use real kitchen tools, and learn important cooking skills.

There are different types of work-based learning. Some programs give you credit at school when you do work-based learning. This means you get grades for doing a good job at your work.

Work-based learning is important because it helps you learn in a real-world environment. This means you can see how what you learn in school applies to the real world. It also helps you build new skills that can help you get a job when you're older.
