WORK LEARNING SERVICE
EXPERIENTIAL WORK LEARNING GRANTS
The WCC provides grants to faculty and/or staff members to undertake an experiential, creative and/or scholarly research project. The grant projects should enhance the learning environment, support learning outcomes and student development, and promote a model to other educators. The grants are offered to help strengthen the integration and relationship of work-learning on our campuses while also supporting the mission of the Consortium. The grant application process occurs in the spring and the grants are awarded to full-time faculty and/or staff currently employed at one of the schools in the Work Colleges Consortium.

OUR WORK COLLEGE MEMBERS
There are currently ten federally recognized Work Colleges, and nine are members of the Work Colleges Consortium. These institutions are small, private, liberal arts colleges with modest enrollments that range from about 150 to approximately 1,600 students. Each school is unique and operates the work program in a slightly different fashion. However, “work-learning-service” is a central component of each Work College. Student work, coupled with robust academics and a spirit of service, is the common denominator shared by all the Work Colleges.
