Springfield Public Schools’ BASE Project (Business Associated Student Education) is a community-based transitional program for high school students aged 16 and older with an IEP. The program focuses on developing work and life skills to help students successfully navigate life after graduation.

The BASE program provides students with opportunities to develop career awareness, explore different job fields, and build the social skills needed for success in the workplace and beyond. Students gain hands-on experience through unpaid job shadowing while earning high school credits toward graduation.
