Career Pathways

Helping students make informed decisions about their career and post-secondary studies. Guiding industry partners by creating and aligning educational opportunities based on their unique workforce needs.

What is WBL Career Pathways Program?

White Bear Lake Area High School students enrolled in Career Pathway courses learn industry-specific skills and, in some courses may earn free college credit and industry-recognized credentials. Students are involved in engaging, hands-on classroom and field experiences, such as internships, job shadows, connecting with local industry professionals, touring local business, and other experiential learning opportunities. Career Pathways participants develop essential skills and experience needed to either enter the workforce directly with a high-paying career or further their education.
