At Wake Tech, students have several options to gain practical work experience while pursuing a degree. The Work-Based Learning program allows eligible students to work in their career fields prior to graduation while putting into practice what they've learned in the classroom. They make connections with professionals in their line of work and earn academic credit toward their graduation requirements.
Students are responsible for finding their own employment to use for the program and are encouraged to use the Career Services office for assistance in locating employment.
