Work-Based Learning is an academic program designed to give qualified students an opportunity to combine theory learned in the classroom with work experience. Work-Based Learning awards academic credit toward graduation for part-time work experience that is closely related to a student’s field of study. This work is an integral part of a student’s education.
The purpose of this program is to promote the personal, educational, and career development of the student and is largely dependent on the cooperation of employers and educators working together. While doing so, employers are introduced to new talent emerging from Surry Community College and can benefit from the skills and knowledge students have gained in the classroom.
