Businesses and employers are the bedrock of work-based learning. The most effective programs are those that are developed with the insight and guidance of employers or industry associations to ensure that workers are actually being trained in skills that they will need on the job.
Companies such as Lockheed Martin, John Deere, Nissan, Honda, Best Buy, and others use work-based learning to attract, grow, and retain a talented workforce. Businesses that invest in work-based learning see immense benefits, including improved productivity, decreases in the number of defects, increased innovation, improvements in employee engagement, and increased workplace diversity and inclusion.
