Job Training in High School Education

Paper Summary:

In 1985, when the high-technology revolution was hitting the mass market, some futurists projected that public education would increasingly form working partnerships with private-sector industries to train students for jobs. This paper investigates just how correct these predictions were. It sets forth the background of public-school-and-business cooperation in various areas of vocational and/or distributive education. The paper then discusses ways in which the structure of distributive education has shifted in recent years, with a view toward forecasting possible lines of future development.

From the Paper:

"The National Society for Experiential Education (NSEE) is a facilitating organization that encourages businesses in many industries to offer internship opportunities to high school and college students, as well as to adult learners. In its School-to-Work Transitions program, on-the-job training is integrated with classroom instruction at both secondary and postsecondary levels and that "results in both academic credential and certification of mastery of work skills" (NSEE, 2000)."
