EC WBL attendees Leake County students enrolled in career-technical programs at East Central Community College in Decatur receive on-the-job experience by participating in the College's Work-Based Learning program. Students also earn competitive wages at their respective work sites while receiving college credit. From left are Anthony Steve and Janet Kelly, both of Carthage, who are shown with Chris Barris, work-based learning coordinator. Harris said employers have an opportunity to employ the College's "cream of the crop" career and technical stu– dents for~ to two years with no obligations while partic– ipating in the program. However, he added that WBL stu– dents generally find a "home" with their employers fol– lowing graduation. "It's a win-win-win situation for stu– dents, employers and the institution," Harris commented.
