Applied Work Based Learning Capstone is an instructional strategy that can be implemented as a standalone course or a component of any CTE course that prepares students for college and career. This strategy builds individual students’ skills and knowledge within the area of interest. A standards based training plan is developed by the student, teacher, and workplace mentor to guide the student’s work based learning experiences and assist in evaluating progress and performance, whether WBL is a standalone course or a component of a discipline-specific CTE course.
