Funded by the federal schoolto-work Opportunties Act of 1994, School-to-Careerhelps synchronize educational goals with employment needs of the future.
http://www.studentconnection.org/About/default.html
School-to-Career is a system of coordinated programs and experiences designed to synchronize educational goals with employment needs of the future. It prepares students for the future by merging rigorous academics with real-world applications and experiences. Roles: Educators Parents Employees and Students FOCUS ON THE FUTURE Tomorrow's doctors, lawyers, teachers, mechanics, engineers, entrepreneurs, law enforcement officials, and scientists sit in today's classrooms. They are the future. Developing these eager, young students into bright, intuitive, motivated, and highly skilled working people isn't something that can wait for technical school or college. Students of today will need more to succeed in the highly advanced workplace of tomorrow. They'll need a wide range of skills and knowledge that takes years to acquire. They'll need academic and career learning that begins early and builds, year after year, all the while creating well-rounded and focused individuals. That kind of readiness can be achieved! Great careers start by integrating academics and occupations, and by bringing together teachers, students, parents, and employers as partners. It's called School-to-Career.

Morton Inger
The transition from school to work in the United States is neither smooth nor efficient. Although most young Americans start working at paid jobs while they are in high school, these jobs are seldom connected to their studies or career aspirations. After leaving school, with or without a diploma, most young people spend a number of years floundering from one disconnected job to another. To prevent this evident waste of human resources, states and localities, encouraged by federal legislation, have been designing school-to-work systems. This paper focuses on school-to-work programs in two-year colleges. While community, junior, and technical colleges have always offered some vocational curricula, the number of their offerings has increased and the range of direct linkages with outside organizations has become remarkably wide. More than two-thirds of two-year institutions offer co-op or work experience, and almost one institution in six offers the classroom component of apprenticeship training. Although nearly nine out of ten two-year schools operate school-based enterprises, the numbers of students involved are tinyless than a half of a percent. Even co-op and apprenticeship do not enroll very large numbers, accounting for only 2.25 percent and 1.39 percent of the schools' total enrollment, respectively.
Co-op
Evaluations of co-op in two-year colleges have been too sparse and too limited to permit firm conclusions or generalizations. The few evaluations that NCRVE's researchers found are summarized here.

ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
"Because a comprehensive program of citizenship education requires constructive learning activities far beyond those which can be provided within a school, some form of community council or board is necessary to assess educational needs, identify actual and potential resources, and develop an outline of educational programs. Some educational task forces or councils must be drawn from the larger metropolitan area or region for educational needs that cannot be met well by the local community."

Broadus School District, Montana Profile Goals Origins of Community Development in Broadus, Montana ... Conclusion
PROFILE
Broadus, the county seat for Powder River County, Montana, is a small town located on U.S. Highway 212 that connects southeast Montana with South Dakota. Rolling prairie, cattle, sagebrush, and antelope are common sights as you drive through the area into town. Large freight trucks drone on day and night as they haul their payloads to destinations far beyond Broadus. Gillette, Wyoming, population 23,200, is 86 miles to the south. Miles City, Montana, population 9,602, is 78 miles to the east. Billings, the largest town in Montana with a population of 80,500, is a three-hour drive from Broadus, barring bad weather conditions. Isolation creates unique needs for the citizens of Broadus, but it also provides a valued way of life. Broadus is home to a local elementary and a county school district. The county high school is situated on the same campus as the elementary school. The buildings are relatively modern. Oil revenues helped build new additions during the early 1970s. Government, education, ranching, farming, and small service businesses are primary sources of employment. Small-plane chartering, hunting guide services and the development of a Wagon Train tourist event have also emerged in recent years. The county and the school district are the largest employers in the county. Student population has been on a steady decline since the 1980s. In 1985, the high school enrollment peaked at 171. By 1993, enrollment had dropped to 127, a 26 percent decline. Teachers remain some of the highest paid people in the county.

Individualized Education Programs

The school-to-work transition of the nation's youth has been a major focus of vocational education efforts for the past decade. Educators help students identify their interests and abilities, engage in career education and career development activities, and develop individual education plans. Although these activities are significant, their comprehensiveness and effectiveness are limited by staff and time. "The ratio of students to counselors in public high schools is almost 300 to 1; and school guidance counselors are able to spend less than one hour of every five on career counseling" (Otto 1989, p. 161). Add to this the unique and complicated counseling needs of students with disabilities and it becomes apparent that other actors, primarily parents, must be included in the school-to-work transition of youth. Will defines transition as "an outcome-oriented process encompassing a broad array of services and experiences that lead to employment" (Friedenberg et al. 1993, p. 235). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1990 defines transition services as "a coordinated set of activities for a student, designed within an outcome-oriented process, which promotes movement from school to post-school activities, including postsecondary education, vocational training, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation" (ibid.). This ERIC DIGEST looks at the challenges of effecting successful transitions, particularly for students with disabilities, and parents' roles in the transition process.

What is School-to-Work?
    School-to-Work is both a concept and a collection of activities in which students can participate. The philosophy behind School-to-Work, is that school should be relevant to a student's future. With that in mind, activities available to students allow them to become aware of and explore careers within the structure of their regular classes. Teachers build opportunities for students to work in teams, demonstrate responsibility for projects, and take part in active learning experiences. Students are also able to explore the world of work through work-based activities and extra-curricular experiences. The School-to-Work philosophy is NOT one that requires all students to have part-time jobs while they are in school. School-to-Work activities are tailored to meet young people where they are, and help them discover whom they wish to become. Click here to see a sample menu of activities which students can experience.

Academic and Vocational Education

Implementing School-to-Work Programs
Examining Early Programs for Non-College-Bound Youth The current search for effective ways to prepare non-college-bound students for employment began with many variations of the youth apprenticeship model, including academies, tech prep "2+2" programs, and the replacement of general education and career-oriented technical curriculum tracks. We evaluated features of these programs to isolate the factors that promote or inhibit successful implementation. We also examined the extent to which programs provided contextual learning experiences and collected data to profile participating students. Building Bridges Between Academic and Vocational Education Now more than ever before in our nation’s history, relevant job skills and educational achievement are the currency of successful employment. The federal government has helped fund tech-prep programs, sponsored by local consortia of secondary and postsecondary institutions, to target average-ability students. After studying the practices and approaches these programs use to link academic and vocational education and training, we discovered that properly structured programs can serve as a major stimulus to curriculum integration.

Definition of School-to-Work
School-to-work is a major educational reform initiative. Legislation has been developed to link educational reform to workforce needs and economic development. The mission of the school-to-work initiative is to create a seamless system of education and workforce preparation for all learners, tied to the needs of community economic development. School-to-work is not an educational program initiative; rather it is focused on improving the system of school to work transitions for youth and adults. As such it is designed to involve and impact a broad range of entities which have an interest in and an impact on these transitions, including schools (pre-kindergarten through university), families, business and industry, government, and community-based organizations. Within the school, attention is to all students, all subject matter areas of the curriculum, and all staff. Components of school-to-work from a federal perspective typically include school-based learning, work-based learning, and connecting activities. In addition, Minnesota includes a service-based learning component.
