What Is Linked Learning?

Linked Learning provides technical courses integrated with rigorous academics, and combines career-based learning and real-world experiences to make daily learning relevant. Geared for high school students, career oriented pathways such as engineering, health care, law and social justice, and business expose students to possible college and career opportunities while addressing employer needs. For students, it answers the question, “Why do I need to learn this?” Linked Learning enhances options for ALL our students and ultimately fulfills the Fresno Unified mission of Preparing Career Ready Graduates.
