Extended Learning Opportunities

The State of New Hampshire has some unique Department of Labor-sponsored child labor laws that both serve to protect and support our students in non-paid work-based learning. The primary purpose is to assure that students are placed in safe learning environments in industry.

This page will assist you in linking to key laws and resources to support NH's efforts to collaborate with employers for high quality education experiences.
