Indeed,  \nin work-based learning (WBL) partnerships are not only encouraged – they’re mandatory. WBL by definition involves a partnership between business and education, with these two entities comprising the “work” and “learning.” However, policymakers and practitioners would be doing a disservice to workers and businesses alike if they saw their work as complete once those two entities are at the table. Many states have realized broader partnerships are key to make this work successful, and this resource will relay an overview of best practices in building and maintaining WBL partnerships as well as shine a light on partnerships “outside of the box” that can be pivotal to WBL success. Governors are uniquely positioned to use their convening and executive power to encourage or establish these partnerships. This resource is based on lessons learned from phase three of the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) Policy Academy on Scaling Work-Based Learning, which has engaged 19 states from 2020-2021.  \nDiversifying Partnerships for Success in Work-Based Learning | Page 1  \nThe NecessaryPlayers  \nAccording to the NGA Center definition,“Work-based learning provides students with authentic work experiences where they apply and develop employability and technical skills that support success in careersand postsecondary education. Work-based learning activities culminate in an assessment and recognition of acquired knowledge and skills.” Therefore, by definition, a WBL partnership must at a minimum involve an employer and an educational entity such as a school or institution of higher education. Work-based learning programs include a continuum of activities that comprise everything from career exploration to registered apprenticeship.  \nGovernors and other state policymakers can encourage strong partnerships between education and business through several avenues:  \n• Convening education and business entities to discuss their needs and seek areas of collaboration  \n• Incentivizing partnerships by offering funding or other resources, such as technical assistance or additional capacity, for projects involving partnerships  \n• Creating resources, toolkits, or guides to help education and business form strong partnerships and programs  \n• Growing capacity to oversee and convene WBL partnerships, such as through local or regional WBL coordinators  \nIn addition, once a partnership is established, both the employer and educational entities need to continue to be good partners to each other to maintain the relationship, continuously improve programs and outcomes, and serve more students.  \nExamples of potential business and education partners include:  \n• State Departments of Education and/or Higher Education  \n• Two-and four-year colleges (individual and/or systems)  \n• School districts  \n• Community-based organizations, non-profits, or other entities that provide education and training  \n• Individual employers  \n• Industry associations  \n• Chambers of commerce  \nDiversifying Partnerships for Success in Work-Based Learning | Page 2  \nThinking Outside of the Box  \nHighly successful statewide WBL initiatives include and engage a variety of partners beyond just education and business. There are numerous reasons to do so, such as increasing the ability to reach more potential students from a variety of backgrounds, or more opportunity and capability to combine funding sources, which ultimately boils down to increasing their impact and scale. Governors have the unique ability to convene and support diverse partnerships in WBL, and they should consider the full breadth of potential partnerships in their WBL strategy and how those partnerships can help them achieve their education and workforce goals.  \nState teams in our Policy Academy have forged successful partnersh","cbCaicjqdikcjjV0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicjqdikcjjV0","pdf",797039,"English","# The Necessary Players\n## Partnership requirements for WBL\n# Building Strong Partnerships\n## Convening, incentives, and toolkits\n# Thinking Outside of the Box\n## Expanding partner types\n# State Examples\n## Governor and agency initiatives","[{\"question\":\"Why are WBL partnerships considered mandatory?\",\"answer\":\"Many WBL programs depend on effective partnership and collaboration, and WBL partnerships are not only encouraged but described as mandatory.
