| Summary: | The report represents an abridged summary of a study which assessed secondary and postsecondary work education programs and suggested ways they might be modified or expanded. A stratified, random sample of 50 work-education sites was drawn for the study from a set of 500 representative programs. Specific occupational training, dropout prevention, and career exploration programs were studied in farming regions, bedroom communities, single industry areas, and major industrial-business centers. The study's main findings are briefly described and form the basis for the following policy recommendations: (1) explore further the concept of establishing occupational training programs with a nonpaid work experience component; (2) expand the scope of dropout prevention programs; (3) develop formal structures for career exploration programs; (4) use vocational aptitude and interest instruments in student counseling; (5) develop more effective followup practices; (6) strengthen the role of program advisory committees; (7) encourage unions to participate actively in work education programs; (8) improve the effectiveness of public relations activities; (9) discourage discrimination on the basis of student attitude; (10) establish internship programs for work education coordinators; and (11) increase funding of cooperative education programs. Brief descriptions are included of 18 secondary school programs dealing primarily with cooperative education. (SD) |
