Work-Based Learning (WBL) provides students with real-world experiences through internships, job shadowing, mentorships, and other career-related opportunities with local businesses and organizations. It helps students apply what they learn in the classroom to real work environments, building valuable skills and career awareness. In Lyon County School District, WBL is important because it connects students to local industries, supports career readiness, and helps develop a skilled workforce for our communities. It also strengthens partnerships between schools and employers, creating meaningful pathways from education to employment.
We Believe:
- We believe curiosity drives deeper learning
- We believe real-world connections make learning meaningful
- We believe education should prepare students for life beyond the classroom
- We believe all students can achieve career and future success
- We believe learning is a lifelong journey
- We believe all are capable of achievement in their career goals
- We believe every child deserves to have opportunities that will benefit their future

SchooLinks
At Lyon County School District, we are committed to empowering every student to achieve their full potential. That's why we're thrilled to introduce SchooLinks, our new comprehensive college and career readiness platform designed to guide students from exploration to success.
WorkKeys
At Lyon County School District, we are dedicated to preparing our students for successful futures, whether they choose to pursue higher education or enter the workforce directly. That's why we are proud to integrate ACT WorkKeys, a nationally recognized system that helps our students develop and demonstrate critical workplace skills.
LCSD PAES Labs
The PAES® Lab (Practical Assessment Exploration System) is a hands-on, simulated work environment used in schools to help students explore and develop job skills across a variety of career areas, such as business, technology, construction, and service industries. Designed to mimic a real workplace, students are treated as employees and complete structured tasks while learning essential work behaviors like following directions, problem-solving, and staying on task. PAES Labs are especially valuable for students with special needs, as they provide practical experience, assess employment readiness, and support transition planning for life after high school.
Parent & Family Resource:
The VR Nevada website helps parents of students with disabilities access free Pre-Employment Transition Services — including career exploration, job readiness, and internships — while offering guidance to support their child’s move into adulthood and future employment.
