• W1500547375 abstract "The 1994 School-to-Work Opportunities Act was passed by Congress with bi-partisan support, as a result of concern over the preparedness of American youth for the changing world of work. There has been debate over whether sufficient numbers of employers can be recruited, in order to create a national school-to-work system with the substantial work-based learning component the legislation calls for. Recent research on the question has had mixed results. This paper reports on findings from a three-year research project focused on this question. Fieldwork was conducted at twelve school-to-work programs. The findings are that many employers are being successfully recruited; in fact, the recruitment and retention of employer partners was not the primary barrier in the implementation of the programs studied. Rather, student recruitment, and parent, teacher, and counselor buy-in, were all found to be significant obstacles interrelated with the problem of employer participation. There appear to be trade-offs between employer participation, student demand, and program quality. In addition, employer motivations for participation are rarely pure but are mixed and can change over time. The conclusion is that employer participation cannot be studied separately from other program features and concerns. INTRODUCTION The 1994 School-to-Work Opportunities Act (STWOA) was passed by Congress with bi-partisan support, as a result of concern over the preparedness of American youth for the changing world of work, which has been characterized as an “emerging learningbased economy” (Urquiola et al., 1997, p.120). Research demonstrates that many young adults spend their early years in the workforce moving from one low-wage, dead-end job to another (Commission on the Skills of the American Workforce, 1990; William T. Grant Foundation on Work, Family, & Citizenship, 1988; National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983). Jobs that were once available to high school graduates are requiring higher levels of skills (Murnane and Levy, 1996), contributing to the chronically high levels of youth unemployment. Thus the goal of the legislation is “to facilitate the creation of a universal, high-quality school-to-work transition system that enables youths in the United States to identify and navigate paths to productive and progressively more rewarding roles in the workplace” through educator and employer partnerships (Congress, Title VIII, Section 3). The legislation calls for the following three components to be available to “all students” (Title I, section 101): • school-based learning, which shall include career awareness and career exploration and counseling; selection of a career major by interested students; state-established academic content standards; integration of academic and vocational learning; ongoing" @default.
