# §686.520. What responsibilities do the center operators have in managing work-based learning?

- (a) The center operator must emphasize and implement work-based learning programs for students through center program activities, including career and technical skills training, and through arrangements with employers. Work-based learning must be under actual working conditions and must be designed to enhance the employability, responsibility, and confidence of the students. Work-based learning usually occurs in tandem with students' career technical training.
- (b) The center operator must ensure that students are assigned only to workplaces that meet the safety standards described in [§ 686.920](/cfr/20/686.920.md).
