Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan (WBLP)

The Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan (WBLP) is designed to provide structure and depth in work-based learning experiences such as internships or capstone projects. It helps to: identify the skills to be focused on in the work experience, open conversations about learning opportunities, and encourage reflection about short-term and long-term goals.

The Work-Based Learning Plan includes a job description, list of skills, and reflective reviews. It is structured with six employability skills that are universal to all work experiences, plus three to five career and workplace specific skills that reflect the goals of the specific work experience. The WBLP can be completed as a pen-and-paper document, on an online platform, or through the MEFA Pathways platform.

NB: this version of the WBLP is provided as a temporary document for use while schools are making the transition to MEFA Pathway as the platform for work-based learning activities and other college and career readiness planning.
