The Crossing’s Work-Based Learning Program is a vital part of preparing our students to join the workforce after graduation. Our Career Pathway Instructors (CPIs) provide employability skills training and a comprehensive range of work experience. The Work-Based Learning Program also coordinates with local businesses to develop partnerships with the Crossing and to identify potential future employees.
School-Based Enterprises
School-based enterprises are student-run companies that offer various products and services to the community. Students learn how to write a business plan, perform business operations and production, and sell and market their products.
Satellites
We designed a model in partnership with businesses to provide future workers with a hands-on approach to learning in a live business environment. This partnership equips students with an unparalleled set of hard and soft skills to succeed in their careers and lives after high school.
Pre-Apprenticeships
Students in individual pre-apprenticeships work for at least a nine-week period in a professional work environment in their specific career interest area after they have proven themselves at their Campus School-Based Enterprise and/or Work-Based Learning Experience.
Our students develop employability skills to meet technical requirements that complement their new abilities.
