These work experiences are connected to learner’s career majors and are integrated with the academic curriculum and enable learners to keep up to date with current and planned activities; to share good practices, experience and practical resources; and to acquire knowledge and skills through work experience. Workplace learning includes cooperative education, entrepreneurial programs, internship, mentoring, school-based enterprises, and shadowing. It has five key principles that are fundamental to the process of workplace learning transformation:

  5. Competency-based, the identification, development and assessment of relevant and measurable competencies is central to the success of the workplace learning reform in organizations. [1] See also: Job Shadowing
