Case Study: Sarasota County Schools transforms work-based learning with SchooLinks

Sarasota County Schools grows industry partners from 150 to 600+ with SchooLinks

Sarasota County Schools sought a comprehensive college and career readiness platform to replace a discontinued state-provided service and to meet a new state mandate for increased work-based learning access. After evaluating twelve providers, the district chose the SchooLinks platform to digitize its processes and unify student planning, career exploration, and work-based learning tracking.

By implementing SchooLinks, Sarasota County Schools digitized state-required paperwork, streamlined college applications, and created a central hub for work-based learning. SchooLinks enabled students to submit digital timesheets and reflections, fostering accountability. The district saw its number of industry partners skyrocket from 150 to over 600, indicating strong community engagement and excitement for the program.
