Section 404(b)(2) of the 1990 Amendments to the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and
Applied Technology Education Act requires that NCRVE "annually prepare a study
on the research conducted on approaches that lead to effective articulation for
the education-to-work transition." This activity will fulfill that
requirement.
This study will also provide an initial description of local and state
activities pursuant to the School to Work Opportunities (STWO) Act of 1994. In
addition, it will assist in the development of School-to-Work programs in at
least two sites in states that are School-to-Work implementation sites.
Four distinct kinds of information will be included in the 1995 report: (1) a
description of local and state activities under the STWO Act; (2) a synthesis
of evaluation results from youth apprenticeship pilot projects; (3) an update
of significant new research on other School-to-Work programs; and (4) formative
evaluation of new School-to-Work implementation in at least two localities,
probably in New York and Wisconsin.
The main product of this study will be the 1995 report to the federal
authorities as required by the 1990 Perkins Amendments. It will be published
as a report by NCRVE. It may subsequently be published by a commercial
publisher as a book or monograph.
In addition to the distribution required by law (i.e., the Secretaries of
Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services; the Senate Committee on Labor
and Human Resources; and the House Committee on Education and Labor),
complimentary copies of the report will be sent to a list of approximately 100
high-level state and federal officials and leading researchers in the field.
The report will also be available for sale from the NCRVE Materials
Distribution Service.
