  • 100% Virtual and PAID Internships!!! - Work-Based Learning Alliance

    We have updated our School Guide with information regarding the opportunities that will be on offer, how to register your students and key timelines.
    Our registration process remains the same for this coming year -
    1. New schools who have not worked with us in the past are asked to complete the School Registration Form. 
    2. All schools share the Student Registration Form, Family Information Letter and relevant program information sheets with students and families. The Student Registration Form is designed to be completed by the student with family guidance and support. 
    Given the high demand for our programming, we will continue to cap internship cohorts at 100 students and project cohorts at 50 students. Places will continue to be offered to students in order of registration.
    For those schools looking to register students for our Fall programming, please be aware that the deadline for students to complete their registration form is Friday 13 September. 
    Once a registration deadline passes, schools will receive details of registered students and updates from our support team via our support@wblalliance.org email. Please also feel free to reach out at any time or set up a meeting using our Calendly.
