This report, produced through collaboration by Education Strategy Group (ESG) and Advance CTE, outlines our key learnings across New Skills Ready Network (NSrn) sites and opportunities for institutions to expand access and equity to internships. Information was collected through interviews with leaders of workbased learning programs at both the K-12 and community college levels within each NSrn community with a focus on three research questions:
1. What are the personal or individual circumstances that influence or limit a student’s decision to participate in capstone work-based learning programs?
2. How are institutions addressing issues of equity to expand access to work-based learning?
3. What are barriers institutions face in providing equitable and meaningful work-based learning opportunities for students?
