To qualify for a WBL placement, a student must be in grades 11 or 12 and at least 16 years old. Students must also have a defined Career Pathway in order to participate in the Work-Based component of Career-Related Education. This is especially important for successful completion of a student’s pathway in that their job placement is directly related to the curriculum of the Career Technical and Agricultural Education classes they have completed or in which they are concurrently enrolled. There are several opportunities for students to participate in a work-based learning. These opportunities include Cooperative Education, Internship, Youth Apprenticeship, and Clinical Experiences. A document with more information related to each opportunity can be found in the Files & Presentation box to the right.Georgia C-NET The C-NET function for creating individual training plans utilizes the job titles and tasks lists available on ONET. The entire ONET business-industry occupational task list is incorporated into C-NET. Training plans created on C-NET which are derived from the ONET task list include an icon recognizing the ONET source. The section of this manual that discusses training plans reflects the use of C-NET for development of customized training plans using the ONET task lists. If coordinators place students in positions for which ONET does not have task lists, the coordinator is responsible for creating a customized training plan using resources such as the Occupational Handbook or job descriptions provided by the employer. Reporting is not necessary with the use of C-NET. Reports for needed data are available to Program Specialists within the Georgia Department of Education as well as local system employees. C-NET is a function provided by the CTAE Resource Network which is operated with federal funds and is available to all local school systems in Georgia. There is no cost to local school systems for teachers and coordinators using C-NET. |
