What is a work based learning coordinator?

A Work Based Learning Coordinator is an educational professional who connects students with real-world work experiences, such as internships, job shadowing, and apprenticeships. They collaborate with employers, teachers, and students to facilitate practical learning opportunities that complement classroom education. Their goal is to help students develop workplace skills, explore career options, and prepare for future employment. Work Based Learning Coordinators often manage program logistics, ensure compliance with regulations, and provide support throughout the placement process.
