The Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan (WBLP) is designed to provide structure and depth to work-based learning experiences: to identify the skills to be focused on in the work experience; to open conversations about learning opportunities; and to encourage reflection about short-term and long-term goals. The Work-Based Learning Plan includes a job description, list of skills, and reviews. It can be completed as a pen-and-paper document, Word document, or through our online and mobile screens.

The Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan 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.
