- Summary:
-
This report presents the findings and conclusions from the first phase of a two-phase study of education and work councils (community organizations of business leaders, school officials, and representatives of other institutions, formed to ease the transition of youths from school to work). The report describes the education and work councils funded by the Department of Labor's Office of Youth programs. It explains what the councils are, how they function, and the key variables which affect their growth and development. It also defines the collaborative process in which councils engage and explains how collaboration relates to council operations. Capsule descriptions of each of twelve functioning councils are given. The report concludes that work councils have been somewhat successful in getting established and beginning to function, and makes several recommendations for the future: (1) that council activities be better integrated with planning and implementing specific changes in the school-to-work transition; (2) that council members act as institutional representatives rather than as individuals only; (3) that council leadership effectiveness be assessed; and (4) that councils continually evaluate their goals and progress.
