This mixed methods study investigated the effectiveness of work‐based learning (WBL) experiences in secondary Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) programs, focusing on bridging the gap between secondary education and workforce readiness. Participants included secondary FCS teachers from public middle and high schools in Texas. The findings highlight WBL integration challenges due to varying levels of awareness, training, and industry partnerships among FCS educators. Enhancements in teacher training and stronger industry–education partnerships are recommended to improve the quality and diversity of WBL, aiming to better prepare students for dynamic workforce demands
