Morphology
work-study + program
The phrase is compositionally transparent: 'work-study' straightforwardly combines 'work' and 'study' and 'program' denotes an organized course. A B1 learner who knows 'work' and 'study' will readily infer it refers to a program combining employment and study (often with practical or paid work alongside academic study), and this combination is common cross-linguistically.
Etymology
Work-study program comes from the simple idea of putting work and study together; imagine a student who carries books to class and a uniform or tools to a job on the same day. That's why it means a school plan where students do paid work while they study to 'gain experience' and 'help pay costs'.
