Mission Bay Work-Based Learning
Work-Based Learning is your opportunity to experience the real world while you're still in high school. We connect students with professionals, businesses, colleges, and community partners so you can explore careers, develop valuable skills, and discover opportunities that prepare you for life after graduation.
