• Minority students participating in Work Based Learning (WBL) programs entered college at twice the rate of minority students who did not participate in WBL programs

• When students are able to understand the connection between their curriculum and "the real world," students are more motivated to stay in school and work to meet their career goals

• WBL instills the confidence, skills and ambition needed for students to succeed in their industries after high school
