Work-Based Learning includes a continuum of awareness, exploration and preparation that combines an individual’s career goals, structured learning, and authentic work experiences implemented through sustained partnership with Kansas Businesses/Industries.

Participate in the Work-Based Learning Creative Collaboration facilitated by KANSASWORKS’ Intermediaries to share best practices, brainstorm, and share ideas with other educators and instructors across Southeast Kansas. Help us grow this initiative and share the Collaboration Meetings with colleagues/friends from other schools and districts to expand our reach and develop the best programs and services for our students and future Kansas workforce talent!

Starting her professional journey with Parks and Recreation, Nadia found happiness in educating and inspiring adolescents to explore their passions and to always seek answers to their “why’s”.
