The Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan (WBLP)

The Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan (WBLP) is a diagnostic, goal-setting and assessment tool designed to drive learning and productivity on the job. The WBLP was developed by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education through an interagency collaboration of employers, educators and workforce development professionals.

The Work-Based Learning Plan can be completed online or as a pen-and-paper document.
