- Summary:
-
Only about 15 percent of incoming high school freshmen graduate and then complete a four-year college degree program within 6 years of high school graduation; however, most of the efforts of U.S. schools are directed toward those students. A review of literature and other research shows that a comprehensive school-to-work transition strategy would encompass the following components for all students: (1) processes for developing academic and occupational competencies; (2) career education and development; (3) extensive links between schools and employers; and (4) meaningful workplace experiences. The three basic components of the School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1993 (work-based learning, school-based learning, and connecting activities) emphasize the elements found to be necessary for a comprehensive strategy. Therefore, the bill is recommended but will require much state work to set up transition programs that will not be completed until the year 2000. (KC)
