Work-Based Learning
Work-based learning offers invaluable benefits to BCCC students, bridging the gap between classroom education and practical application. Through our WBL program, students can acquire hands-on experience directly relevant to their chosen fields. This approach not only enhances understanding of theoretical concepts but also equips students with real-world skills, bolstering confidence and employability. By engaging in this dynamic learning model, community college students can:
- Graduate with both a certification and job experience
- Gain career-specific skills for your future job
- Develop a professional network within the industry of your program of study
- Potential to secure job offers and professional references
- Develop job search skills like resume building, interviewing techniques, and networking
Prerequisite Requirements:
Students must have successfully completed a 96+ contact hour continuing education class that leads to attaining an industry or state-recognized credential. Upon successful completion of the class, students may apply to enter a WBL class in the same program of study.

Contact our Continuing Education WBL Coordinator, Mr. Casey Langley, at (252) 940-6307 or email [email protected]. There are no application deadlines. WBL is an open-entry program and can be entered at any time.
General Information:
Required hours are 100+ contact hours and are set by the WBL Coordinator, employer, and student. This is a pass/fail course based on your completion of the necessary documentation and work hours.
