Work-Based Learning

Work-based learning (WBL) at CCRI allows students to connect their experiences in the classroom to the professional world, to advance academic and career goals. These experiences are incorporated in the curriculum or program through projects with industry partners, internships, clinical rotations or practicums, field experiences, performances, jobs, or other career development activities.
 
In work-based learning courses, students can:

  • Explore career options
  • Develop career competencies and real-world skills
  • Make professional connections
  • Build their resumes

WBL may be completed as part of existing program or general education courses, or as stand-alone experiences. For more information or questions about WBL courses or experiences, please contact workbasedlearning@ccri.edu.  
 
Students can also earn academic credit for internships and jobs by enrolling in Cooperative Work Experience seminars. Consult with your academic advisor regarding the transferability of these credits. Non-credit internships and jobs are also available to help students gain valuable experience and network within their chosen fields. Contact Career Services for more information.
 
Below is a list of courses that contain work-based learning experiences. Some of these courses will require a pre-requisite and/or admission into the academic program to register. See course description for details. This list will continue to grow and can be found in the catalog by searching for courses with a ^ to denote a work-based learning course.
