Work-Based Learning
Jefferson County Schools offers programs known as Cooperative Education/Work-Based Learning in several high schools. These programs are considered an extension of Career and Technical Education and offer students the opportunity to work or intern in a supervised setting. We are proud to partner with industries to form registered apprenticeship programs in cooperation with the Alabama Office of Apprenticeships.
For more information about partnering with JEFCOED to form registered apprenticeship programs or for general work-based learning information, please contact Dr. Chris Shaw at 205-379-2172 or by email.
