Charge: The work-based learning experiences (WBLE) task force will assess the landscape of WBLEs at the university (e.g. student teaching, clinical placements, practicums, undergraduate research experiences, internships, etc.) in order to better understand how WBLEs are currently operating, so that they can be consistently tracked, assessed, given appropriate support (resources and personnel), and expanded to strengthen their value and ensure all students have an equal opportunity to participate. The group will review the ongoing work of the SCHEV SB1280 work group and make recommendations that highlight JMU experiences and concerns. The group will help JMU prepare to respond to additional requests from SCHEV and the Governor’s office related to expanding WBLE opportunities, and will be positioned to assist with submissions for funding that may be available from SCHEV and other entities. The group will recommend ways to better centralize, formalize, document, and grow our WBLE operations.
