BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The purpose of this Contract is to create and/or expand Work-Based Learning Experience (WBLE) for transition Students with Disabilities.

Students participating in WBLE develop appropriate work skills, behaviors, and work tolerance needed to plan for and achieve successful employment after high school. It is essential that direct employer or community involvement be a component of the WBLE to ensure student engagement. These opportunities are meant to engage and motivate students, while augmenting the learning process.
