Work Experience and Work-Based Learning

Introduction

Work experience and work-based learning are two related strategies for helping people with low incomes improve employment and earnings outcomes. Work experience and work-based learning could include paid or unpaid work or learning experiences in a work setting, such as internships or community service jobs. Because interventions providing work experience are a subset of work and work-based learning interventions, this Evidence Snapshot summarizes the evidence on both of these types of interventions.
