EBW Co-op should align to a student's career goals. This enables students to learn about careers, build connections with industry professionals, and develop and practice technical, academic and employability skills needed for career success.

Students will get high school class credits for participation. For more information about the types of programs available, please check out this website. (https://sites.google.com/jefferson.kyschools.us/wbl/home)
