Work-Based Learning Professional Organizations

Career Readiness Educators' Association (CREA) of New York State

CREA promotes work-based learning programs that operate within New York State’s Career Development and Occupational Studies standards framework. Membership is comprised of a wide range of school, community, and business professionals who work collaboratively to engage students in relevant, "real world" learning opportunities ranging from career awareness to career exploration and career development. They foster collaboration among work-based learning coordinators across the state and provide the tools and support needed to successfully place students in work experiences.
