Business & Information Technology Work-Based Learning

There is a strong need to educate all students for and about business, to instill in America's youth and non-traditional students, the basic tenets of small business and entrepreneurship, and to mold a new kind of employee.

Wisconsin's Work-Based Learning Skill Certificate - Business is designed to aid the business educator, workplace mentor, and school-to-work coordinator in delivering the standards and competencies.  These standards are designed to develop students' comprehensive competence.  Their purpose is to engage students in the excitement of business and to lead students progressively to higher levels of rigor in both school and work-based learning.

The work-based learning (cooperative education) skills certificate was revised by a statewide taskforce of business educators and completed in October, 2003, and became effective for the 2003-2004 school year.  Teachers involved in this program in local districts should register students online.
