Work-Based Learning is a partnership between the Stafford Technical Center and community employers which allows students to participate in related career awareness and work experience programs.

A training plan is developed between the cooperating employer and the Work-Based Learning Coordinator, Darlene Miglorie, (darlene.miglorie@rcpsvt.org) which enables students to expand their occupational skills under the employer’s guidance and gain an understanding of the employer’s expectations. Students acquire job-related experience while receiving high school credit. Additionally, Stafford provides job placement services and refers students to other appropriate agencies that offer comparable support.
