Jeffco Career Links

Jeffco Career Links is a one-stop resource for students, educators, industry partners, community leaders and families for work-based learning. Our goal is to link students from the classroom to careers.

Work-Based Learning Activities

Colorado’s work-based learning (WBL) continuum provides students with hands-on, real-world experience in pursuing their career pathways. WBL programs help students secure industry-relevant skills, certifications, credentials and higher levels of education and employment.

The continuum contains quality expectations that are organized in three categories of WBL activities:

Learning About Work Learning Through Work Learning at Work

Students can contact their school counselor or CTE teacher for more information.
