Work-Based Learning
Work Based Learning at Rancho Mirage High School is a curriculum that links students with industry through a variety of ways including class guest speakers, work site tours, mentoring, job shadowing. In addition to technical skills learned in CTE courses, students also get an opportunity to hone their soft skills or "employability" skills such as customer service, communication, active listening, interviewing and time management.
Work Based Learning (WBL) is a crucial element to Career Technical Education (CTE), The California CTE Model Curriculum Anchor Standards include subject areas of academics, health and safety, technology, and ethics and legal responsibilities.
How Do I Get A Work Permit?

- To inquire about a work permit, please come see Mr. Kabel in Room #305 at lunch or after school. You can also email him with any questions you may have at jkabel1@psusd.us
