Work-Based Learning and Apprenticeship (WBLA) Catalysts - Recommendation Form

WHAT IS THE WBLA CATALYSTS INITIATIVE?

An award program recognizing movers and shakers in Illinois work-based learning.

The WBLA Catalysts Initiative was established to recognize the “good, but hard work” of developing sustainable work-based learning models. By honoring one Exemplar Employer and one Exemplar Program annually, the State of Illinois is building a library of proven blueprints.

The Exemplar Employer is awarded each June, and the Exemplar Program is awarded each December.
