Winters Mill High – Apprenticeship Work-Based Learning

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

This honors level work-based learning apprenticeship experience takes place at the work site and must be a paid experience (at least minimum wage) with a minimum of 450 hours. This experience is guided by a formal work-based learning (WBL) agreement and student work plan development among the student, parent, apprenticeship coordinator, and eligible employer. The student work plan identifies the appropriate competencies, duties, tasks, and outcomes in academic, technical, and workplace readiness areas that apply to the student’s goals for the work-related placement. The experience focuses on student’s interests in manufacturing and STEMrelated pathways, Maryland’s career clusters/pathways and employer demand. Continuous supervision and regular communication among the student, employer, and work-based learning coordinator will provide the student with feedback and evaluation. The student’s final portfolio will document proficiency in academic, technical and workplace readiness skills as outlined in the WBL plan.
