Abstract In this study, employers/supervisors, students, and work-based learning coordinators are interviewed to investigate work-based learning (WBL) in the context of career and technical education (CTAE). Important themes show how important WBL coordinators are to "Strategic Collaboration for WBL" and how intentional efforts should be made to match partnerships with learning objectives. "Hands-On Engagement in Real-World Projects," which define the students' experience, emphasizes the transformational power of applying academic knowledge to real-world situations. The research emphasizes "Collaborative Integration of WBL with Educational Goals," emphasizing deliberate attempts to incorporate WBL into the curriculum in a seamless manner. The crucial concept of "Structured Mentorship Programs for Student Support" comes to light, highlighting the helpful role that supervisors and employers play in creating happy learning environments. Ultimately, a recurring motif of "Strategic Investment in Talent Development" indicates how employers perceive WBL.
