Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult Career and Vocational Education Columbus OH. Parents and the School-to-Work Transition of Special Needs Youth. ERIC Digest. 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.

For example, young women, aged 16 to 34, are only 1% of automobile mechanics, 4% of airline pilots and navigators and 10% of electronic technicians compared to young men in the same age category. About half of young women (aged 16 - 24 years) work in jobs that pay an average wage of $338 per week while 60% of young men work in jobs that pay an average wage of $448 per week. This $110 per week wage differential is linked to the different occupations in which women and men are employed. Women employed in nontraditional jobs earn higher wages than women employed in traditionally female occupations. Nontraditional employment for women is defined as occupations or fields of work where women comprise less than 25% of the individuals employed. SCHOOL-BASED LEARNING Outreach To Female Students. Programs have shown that women are interested in nontraditional occupations when they are actively recruited. Recruitment techniques include: presentations by female role models and current female students in trades, technology and science (TTS) occupations; recruitment flyers with photographs of women and their testimonials; a hands-on career laboratory targeted towards women; information about salaries and career ladders.

Creating School-To-Work Curriculum Content: Dimensions Of Quality Work in Progress at the University of Wisconsin-Madison by Barbara Dougherty and Margaret Ellibee "School-to-work curricula must focus on the integration of academic foundations with career development, life skills, and occupational competencies." -The NCPQ Content Standard, 1994 The NCPQ Offers Useful Benchmarks to Assess School-to-Work Curriculum Many educators today are working and learning in a fluid and evolving school-to-work environment. Curricular decisions, and more specifically, curriculum content, are all affected by the advent of national skill standards, schools' growing emphasis and positioning of integrated school-to-work, and linkages between school and work-based learning. As a result, educators often pose many "how" and "why" questions pertaining to their curriculum content and its perceived quality. "What should be in my school-to-work curriculum content?" "How can I evaluate curriculum content?" "Why should I assess my content now if all these other changes are happening?" All of these questions are legitimate; all are relevant to educators addressing school-to-work concepts. However, limited attention has been directed toward explicit benchmarks or indicators of quality school-to-work curriculum. In the absence of curriculum indicators, how do school-to-work programs address the quality and relevance of such components (e.g., content) and their development within the curriculum? It is important, therefore, to develop meaningful evaluation standards.

HOME CONTACT FIND YOUR PTA SITE MAP ... Issues : School-to-Work and Higher Education School-to-Work and Higher Education In today’s economic climate, a high school diploma is no longer sufficient to secure a job that will provide financial security and upward mobility. More and more jobs require a postsecondary education, even jobs that 10 years ago did not. However, according to a recent study by ACT, Inc., too few students graduate from high school, and even fewer leave high school with the occupational and academic skills they need to succeed in the workplace or in postsecondary education. According to ACT, students’ leaving high school without being prepared for postsecondary training or entry into the workforce will cost our nation more than $16 billion each year in remediation, lost productivity, and increased demands on criminal justice and welfare systems. Originally enacted in 1965 and most recently reauthorized in 1999, the Higher Education Act (HEA) aids students in preparing for and accessing postsecondary education. The programs and activities of HEA fall primarily into one of four categories: student financial aid, support services to help students complete high school and enter and succeed in postsecondary education, aid to strengthen institutions, and aid to improve K–12 teacher training at postsecondary institutions. In 1984, the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act was signed into law to help provide individuals with the academic and technical skills needed to succeed in a knowledge- and skills-based economy. Most recently reauthorized in 2006, Perkins supports career and technical education that prepares students for both postsecondary education and the careers of their choice.

Abstract The post-high school outcomes of 107 graduates from the Boston Public School's ProTech School-to-Work (STW) program, were examined in comparison to 124 similar Boston Public School graduates who were not enrolled. The findings suggest many differences between STW and non-STW graduates in regard to post-secondary enrollment, employment, choice of college, wage, and post-secondary persistence. Analysis through chi-square and t-tests indicates that following high school graduation, STW graduates may be more likely to be working and earning higher wages than non-STW graduates, as well as more likely to enroll in a higher education institution. The study suggests that School-to-Work participation is particularly effective for Black students. Of the STW graduates, 87% reported that they were working as opposed to 74% of the non-STW graduates (x
