The Business Case for Work-Based Learning
Here's a Handout to Get Started
Work-based learning works
When done well, work-based learning—like internships and apprenticeships—rapidly equip employees with the skills and experiences they need to do their jobs better. Moreover, work-based learning helps employers deliver concrete business benefits like:
- Improved productivity and quality
- Increased innovation
- Higher levels of employee engagement
- Increased workplace diversity and inclusion
JFF can help
JFF works with top companies like Lockheed Martin, John Deere, Nissan, Honda, and Best Buy to put work-based learning into action. We help companies assess their business drivers, evaluate talent needs, and design, pilot, and launch effective programs.
