Overview of legal responsibilities

Worksite supervisors need to be aware of legal issues related to a work-based learning experience.

These include safety, child labor, discrimination, and sexual harassment laws.

The WBL coordinator must ensure that worksite supervisors understand their legal responsibilities and potential liabilities in advance.

For unpaid work experiences, all parties must be aware of federal guidelines related to unpaid work experience. Please see the resources button on the Internship page.
