Welcome to Impact Academy’s WLE page!
The teachers, students and parents of Impact believe that in addition to mastering the content of our courses and to be successful beyond high school, students need to achieve and demonstrate professional leadership skills.
To assist the acquisition of these skills, Impact Academy offers junior and senior students the opportunity to have an extended Workplace Learning Experience at a location of their choice. This experience offers students a chance to understand how successful adults operate in the world of work, measure their knowledge and skills against what will be required of them in the future, and obtain information about a job of interest.
During the workplace learning experience students do real work, solve real problems, and are offered continual challenges. In addition, every student completes a project or does research that benefits their workplace. At the conclusion of the experience, students present their projects to workplace staff, parents, fellow students and faculty.
