I like my position at J. Ranck Electric because it has given me more experience in the field of electrical. It has improved my communication skills because of the daily conversations and emails I have with other employees. I am able to work on many different projects and at my own pace.
Since it is a family business I have grown up going to a lot of the events, which helped me ease into the job easier.

Lena has done a great job working her work based learning hours afternoons at the hospital on the general surgery floor.
Not only does Lena appreciate the time she has at the hospital. She additionally appreciates being able to get in extra hours when she can working alongside of the nurses and doctors.
During school breaks or on the weekend all work base learning students have the ability to put in extra hours at their employed position if/when they’d like to. Lena has definitely capitalized on this and is benefiting greatly.

Work based learning highlight - Work base learning (WBL) is a program that connects classroom learning to the workplace through real world and simulated work experiences. This school year students have been able to participate in a variety of different work settings, to even include farming.
Dylan Workman reflects on his work experience thus far, “I love my job as a farm hand, some of the things I do while working is running all the big farm equipment. During corn harvest I ran the grain dryer. During beet harvest I ran the beet topper and dump carts. Now that it’s the winter months I go through the equipment fixing, greasing and general maintenance so it’s all ready to go for the next season.”
“I am very satisfied with the WBL program and love being a part of it.” ~ Dylan Workman
