The term Work-Based Learning (WBL) is fairly recent. Earlier literature refers to experiential learning which is a broader umbrella that includes work-based and other types of high-impact teaching and learning practices. Other related keywords are Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) and High-Impact Practices (HIP), although HIP is a larger, more inclusive category than work-based learning.
