The Evolution of Innovative School-to-Work Programs
1997. Rachel A. Pedraza, Edward Pauly, Hilary Kopp.

In 1994, the School-to-Work Opportunities Act (STWOA) challenged states and local communities to build a nationwide system of school-to-work programs that prepare students for post-secondary education and rewarding careers. The STWOA was informed by school-to-work initiatives already under way in many localities, states, and other countries — initiatives that had been implemented in response to changes in the global economy and an increasing demand for high-skilled workers. These school-to-work initiatives bring together education professionals, community leaders, and employers committed to improving public education by creating opportunities for students to learn about careers through classroom instruction and to participate in work-based learning.
