MajorClarity’s WBL tool supports many different types of WBL opportunities, ranging from job shadowing to service learning to paid (or unpaid) internships. WBL partners and schools can post, edit, and manage student opportunities all in one secure spot for students. You’ll be able to hide opportunities while you work on them (on behalf of your partner) and make them visible when you’re ready.
This article walks the WBL Coordinator(s) for the District through the process of creating and managing opportunities available for their partner's organization.
*Please Note that you must be a District Admin or School Admin and have the WBL Admin Feature Role added to your account to manage the WBL process. Contact your account manager for this permission if needed.
Creating a new WBL Opportunity in MajorClarity
First, you will need at least some WBL Partner profiles created before you can get started setting up opportunities. Now that you've completed the setup process for your WBL Partners, you're ready to create new opportunities for students!
Please note that opportunities can be scoped district-wide or school-wide based on who is creating it and the settings you choose. You may want to discuss with others in your district to ensure you're creating opportunities appropriately.
Please use a supported internet browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Internet Explorer is no longer supported.
