Experiential Learning at Laurel
At Laurel we define Experiential Learning as the process of learning through hands-on experiences. We believe this gives students the opportunity to gain real-world knowledge in the classroom that they can apply in the workforce. There are a multitude of benefits to experiential learning including (but never limited to): the opportunity to immediately apply what you've learned, improved motivation, the opportunity for reflection, and real world practice. Laurel applies the concept of experiential learning to all of our programs in a variety of ways including our Cosmetology's Redken Premier Student Salon, our Culinary Art's Student Restaurant - Gigi's Table, and the Electrical Technician's simulation lab just to name a few! Student's benefit substantially from experiential learning by increasing critical thinking skills and problem solving skills, fostering creativity, assuming responsibility and more!
