I started this platform to be able to provide information as well as display how Alpharetta High School WBL program is working in the local community.

The range of CRE experiences begins with Career Awareness and Exploration in middle school and culminates with Work-Based Learning during the eleventh and twelfth grade. Work-Based Learning provides students the opportunity to receive credit while working in an environment related to their career pathway."

At the beginning of the program, as the WBL coordinator, I will work closely with each individual student in learning their interest and career goals and placing them in an opportunity that aligns with them. Fortunately, our Fall 2017 students have had the opportunity to work with local business. Such as:

• Standard Club

• Passion City Church

• Georgia Tech

• Webb Bridge Middle School

• Creative Displays

• Cooper Sandy Farms

• North Fulton Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine

• Quincy Avery Quarterback Academy

• Manning Oaks Elementary School

• Another Small Venture

• Comprehensive Therapy Solutions

• Remax

We are always looking for more companies to partner with. If you have a connection, or want to work with this program! Please feel free to contact me!

Remember these students our future workforce!
