An external learning experience for workforce/technical programs is a competency-based learning experience, paid or unpaid, that enhances lecture and laboratory instruction, and is provided at a work site appropriate to the program. The external learning experience allows the student to have practical, hands-on training and to apply learned concepts and theories in a workplace setting. There are four types of external learning experiences: co-ops, practica, internships and clinicals. Clinical experiences must take place in a health care setting and students must not be paid for the learning experience.

External Learning Experience work sites must be approved by the College and employers must be willing to enter into training agreements with the College and the student/employee. The College will assist a student in seeking approvable employment, if needed. Workforce/Technical programs which include external learning experiences are indicated in this catalog. Prior to enrollment in one of these courses, students must consult with the Program External Learning Experience Coordinator.
