I believe many businesses write off hiring students due to potential liability concerns, so it is important for WBL coordinators to provide them with accurate information.
I like the idea of a vetting checklist for employers or job sites. Could be a relatively easy template to build. I also think that when implementing a district wide WBL structure, the liability insurance is very important and should addressed right from the start.
I will need to read over and know all applicable laws, policies, and procedures to ensure I am keeping my student safe, and the employer and school protected.
