- Summary:
-
School-to-work linkage refers to the concept of apprenticeship that begins in secondary school. It is an approach to education and training that allows high school seniors to be registered as apprentices with the U.S. Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training while completing their secondary school education. Senior high school students are employed part time as registered apprentices by local employers and continue as full-time apprentices once they have graduated (in contrast to cooperative vocational education, in which students are full-time students and part-time employees). The apprenticeship-cooperative education linkage concept involves the employment of in-school youth in registered, apprenticeable trades and a direct transition from part-time to full-time apprenticeship employment. The concept of apprenticeship-school linkage represents New Jersey's attempt to bridge the gap between apprenticeship and cooperative education. The concept addresses both the issues of school-to-work transition and high youth unemployment. While the concept of improving the school-to-work transition is not new, the apprenticeship-cooperative education linkage is unique in that it combines the apprenticeship system of training with the secondary school cooperative education curricula. (Guidelines for the New Jersey program are contained in this paper.) (KC)
