This booklet, which is part of a series demonstrating the scope of employer involvement in school-to-careers, highlights the efforts of six manufacturing employers and three "intermediary" organizations connecting workplace experiences to classroom learning for secondary education students. The introduction presents a series overview and lists the names, locations, and featured practice of the employers and organizations. The next sections examine manufacturing at the turn of the century; reasons why school-to-careers is an ideal strategy for addressing manufacturing skill needs; current manufacturing industry efforts to develop a skill standards and certification system; and how the employer participation model works with students and teachers. These employers and intermediaries and their best practices are profiled: (1) Caterpillar, Inc. (Peoria, Illinois); (2) The Timken Company (Canton, Ohio); (3) Kraft Foods, Inc. (Northfield, Illinois); (4) Maine Machine Products Company (South Paris, Maine); (5) Advanced Micro Devices (Austin, Texas); (6) Rochester Area Career Education Collaborative (Rochester, New York); (7) Eastman Chemical Company (Kingsport, Tennessee); (8) Connecticut Business and Industry Association (Hartford, Connecticut); and (9) Capital Area Training Foundation (Austin, Texas). The following items are also included: (1) an annotated list of eight organizations and resources; (2) a glossary; and (3) a discussion of steps to build on the National Employer Leadership Council's agenda.
