WHSAD students are not expected to wait until they graduate college to begin their first job. Experience in the workplace is as crucial to a student’s education as the classroom. The goal at WHSAD is to have students enter college and begin their adult lives with the advantage of learning how to lead independent, self-sustaining lives. WHSAD's work based learning program is an important component in which WHSAD students are given the opportunity to participate in paid internships with industry partners.
