Policy Guidance & Information
Colorado Department of Education (CDE)
WBL Credential Overview
The target population for the WBL Coordinator credential is a secondary educator who directly supervises students who are enrolled in a “work based learning course” at a work site and who works directly with employers for student placement and evaluation of their work experience across multiple CTE program areas in a high school or school district.
If you are a CTE credentialed instructor who supervises students at a work site in the CTE program area for which you currently hold a credential, not across multiple CTE program areas, you do not need to hold this Work Based Learning Coordinator credential to claim your enrollments for CTA.
