Lee Co. High School Work-Based Learning

💗💗💗

🎓💙 Proud to Support Work-Based Learning! 💙🎓

The Veranda is proud to be a Work-Based Learning employer, and this year we had the pleasure of partnering with Lee County High School.

Regan Watkins spent the year with our team, getting a behind-the-scenes look at what patient care and the medical field are really like. Experiences like this give students valuable insight and hands-on learning as they continue their education and explore future careers.

This morning, our own Megan Watkins — and one very proud momma — joined Regan at the LCHS Work-Based Learning Appreciation Breakfast to celebrate the program and the students who participated.

We love being part of opportunities that help the next generation learn, grow, and discover their path!

Work-Based Learning is a high school program for juniors and seniors to earn high school credit while employed in a variety of job placements. These students receive real-world, hands-on opportunities to learn and demonstrate employability skills in the workplace. We are very thankful to our local communities for supporting our students and allowing us the opportunity to assist in building a highly trained workforce.
