Our database, at https://masswbl.org,  provides a system for creating Work-Based Learning Plans and for managing, tracking & sharing information about our work. 

While we sometimes say “Connecting Activities database,” the official name of the database – the Massachusetts Career Ready Database – reflects the fact that it is more than a Connecting Activities database, but is also available for use by any Massachusetts school or youth program to manage work-based learning experiences and other career development activities.
