About RI EXL

The Rhode Island Experiential Learning Navigator (RI EXL) is designed to help Rhode Island educators find high-quality career awareness, career exploration, and work-based learning opportunities for their K-12 students.

 

We believe that from early education through high school, every student should have the opportunity to explore careers and discover the possibilities waiting for them right here in Rhode Island. RI EXL connects K-12 educators with a wide range of career-based learning experiences, from career speaker opportunities to workplace tours and internships, ensuring every student has equitable access to hands-on learning.  

 

Through hands-on learning experiences that foster career awareness, exploration, preparation, and training, we empower educators to bridge the gap between the classroom and the workforce. By empowering students with the skills and experiences they need to succeed, we are strengthening Rhode Island’s future workforce and economy. 

​

Why is this important?

​

Launched in January 2025, the Rhode Island Experiential Learning Navigator (RIEXL) was created to bridge the gap between education and workforce development by making it easier for educators to connect students with meaningful career experiences. Sponsored by the Governor’s Workforce Board and powered by Junior Achievement of Rhode Island, RIEXL serves as a centralized platform for K-12 schools, employers, and students to access work-based/career-based learning opportunities across the state. 

​

​

While still in its early stages, the initiative is designed to grow, expanding its reach and impact to ensure students in Rhode Island has access to real-world learning experiences that support their career readiness.
