An external learning experience for Career and Technical awards is designed as a paid or unpaid learning experience. It enhances lecture and laboratory instruction and is provided at work sites appropriate to the discipline. The external learning experience allows a student to have practical hands on training and to apply learned concepts and theories in a workplace setting. The five types of external learning experiences:
- Clinical
- Internships
- Practicum
- Internship
- Apprenticeship
Prior to enrolling in one of these courses, you must consult with the program's External Learning Experience Coordinator.
