Tift County Schools is proud to announce a new initiative to employ our Work-Based Learning (WBL) students within the school system. This semester students are serving in a variety of roles where they are gaining hands-on experience under the guidance of skilled professionals. These positions provide students with meaningful, real-world learning opportunities while offering financial compensation for their contributions.

By investing in our students in this way, we are not only supporting their personal and professional growth but also cultivating and retaining talented individuals within our community. We look forward to expanding this program in the future, offering similar opportunities across additional departments in Tift County Schools.
