To deliver FRNYC programming to students, your school will partner with employers, intermediaries, and CUNY. Intermediary partners will support your school with matching students to WBL experiences.
A WBL intermediary is an organization that engages with schools, employer partners, NYCPS, and other stakeholders to provide quality WBL programming. As shown in the table above, your intermediary partner will be involved in setting up WBL opportunities, especially paid work experiences for students in the upper grades. For these paid and stipend-based WBL experiences, please consult this breakdown of roles and responsibilities. The key responsibilities for WBL intermediaries include:
- Leading employer onboarding
