Hands-On Learning

Sometimes the best way to learn is by doing! If you play word association with young people, most will associate the word "learning" with the word "school." But in the world of work, there are other ways to learn job skills. Some of these even come with paychecks!

Hands-On Learning explains several nontraditional learning programs offered for graduation credit at many high schools, community colleges, and four-year universities. For example, young people may not know that some occupations can be entered ONLY through apprenticeship training programs. And the work experience and references gained through these programs are real advantages for resume writing and interviews!
