Introduction: Purpose of the School-to-Work Task Force
The School-to-Work Task Force was created by the American Psychological Association Council of Representatives to examine what role psychology has played in the national school-to-work initiative and to consider what role psychology could play in the initiative in the future. The initiative focuses on the transition of school-age children to work. This report begins with a brief history of the school-to-work legislation and the sociopolitical context that led to that legislation and continues with discussions of selected psychological literature covering adolescent development as it relates to school and work, age-appropriate assessment of students and programs, learning, agents of influence, and the world of work. Finally, the task force sets forth recommendations for areas in which psychology could make contributions.

Future of school-to-work programs
Because states and localities had the freedom to design their own systems of how best to meet the needs of their own communities, the way school-to-work programs were developed and implemented varied a great deal. With sunset pending, a lack of clear success, and no clear impetus for its future, the school-to-work movement is in limbo. However, one saving grace is the direct effect this legislation could have on the long-term social and vocational outcomes of at least 75% of the youth of our nation, if communities continue to focus on implementing school-to-work programs.
Therefore, designing and implementing legislation to assist this 75% of young people by formulating a uniform and universal high-quality school-to-work transition system that enables youth in the United States to identify and navigate a path to productive and progressively more rewarding roles in the workplace is imperative. This legislation is as timely as it is necessary.

PROFILE
Broadus, the county seat for Powder River County, Montana, is a small town located on U.S. Highway 212 that connects southeast Montana with South Dakota. Rolling prairie, cattle, sagebrush, and antelope are common sights as you drive through the area into town. Large freight trucks drone on day and night as they haul their payloads to destinations far beyond Broadus. Gillette, Wyoming, population 23,200, is 86 miles to the south. Miles City, Montana, population 9,602, is 78 miles to the east. Billings, the largest town in Montana with a population of 80,500, is a three-hour drive from Broadus, barring bad weather conditions. Isolation creates unique needs for the citizens of Broadus, but it also provides a valued way of life. Broadus is home to a local elementary and a county school district. The county high school is situated on the same campus as the elementary school. The buildings are relatively modern. Oil revenues helped build new additions during the early 1970s. Government, education, ranching, farming, and small service businesses are primary sources of employment. Small-plane chartering, hunting guide services and the development of a Wagon Train tourist event have also emerged in recent years. The county and the school district are the largest employers in the county. Student population has been on a steady decline since the 1980s. In 1985, the high school enrollment peaked at 171. By 1993, enrollment had dropped to 127, a 26 percent decline. Teachers remain some of the highest paid people in the county.

School-to-Work Transition Project Policy Framework To prepare young people for productive and satisfying adult lives in the competitive global marketplace, local high schools and employers are being asked to develop effective school-to-work programs. These programs have an important place in the school reform movement, because they change the nature of high school for their students by utilizing the experiences and knowledge contained in modern workplaces. The school-to-work movement was handicapped, however, by a lack of information about communities that had already created innovative combinations of improved high school education and work-based learning.
To remedy this situation, MDRC launched in 1992 the School-to-Work Transition Project, the organization’s first effort in the field of K-12 education. The project was the logical outgrowth both of MDRC’s long-standing commitment to youth employment issues and its burgeoning interest in high school reforms. The project was an investigation of 16 pioneering school-to-work programs. Programs were chosen because they represented a wide variety of approaches and had enough operational experience to provide start-up and implementation lessons for others.

Morton Inger
The transition from school to work in the United States is neither smooth nor efficient. Although most young Americans start working at paid jobs while they are in high school, these jobs are seldom connected to their studies or career aspirations. After leaving school, with or without a diploma, most young people spend a number of years floundering from one disconnected job to another. To prevent this evident waste of human resources, states and localities, encouraged by federal legislation, have been designing school-to-work systems. This paper focuses on school-to-work programs in two-year colleges. While community, junior, and technical colleges have always offered some vocational curricula, the number of their offerings has increased and the range of direct linkages with outside organizations has become remarkably wide. More than two-thirds of two-year institutions offer co-op or work experience, and almost one institution in six offers the classroom component of apprenticeship training. Although nearly nine out of ten two-year schools operate school-based enterprises, the numbers of students involved are tinyless than a half of a percent. Even co-op and apprenticeship do not enroll very large numbers, accounting for only 2.25 percent and 1.39 percent of the schools' total enrollment, respectively.
Co-op
Evaluations of co-op in two-year colleges have been too sparse and too limited to permit firm conclusions or generalizations. The few evaluations that NCRVE's researchers found are summarized here.

Building School-to-Work Systems in Rural America. ERIC Digest. by Harmon, Hobart This Digest briefly describes the key components for building a local school-to-work partnership and discusses the rural context for implementing such an initiative. Local school-to-work partnerships have an important opportunity to reconnect rural students, teachers, and schools with their communities. BACKGROUND The national education reform movement of the 1980s helped prepare America's youth for work and for making career choices. The reforms enlightened people about the rapidly changing skills required in the American labor market and the effectiveness of school-to-career systems of other advanced democracies (Mendel, 1994). Reports such as Learning and Living: A Blueprint for High Performance (SCANS, 1992) and America's Choice: High Skills or Low Wages! (National Center on Education and the Economy, 1990) accelerated interest in linking education to economic competitiveness and the employability of individual citizens. On May 4, 1994, Congress responded by passing Public Law 103-239 [H.R. 2884], the School-To-Work Opportunities (STWO) Act of 1994. The STWO Act was the first federal legislation to declare that preparing all students, including the college bound, to earn a living is one of the legitimate and important roles of schooling (Halperin, 1994). The act established a national framework for each state to create school-to-work opportunities systems that (1) are part of comprehensive education reform, (2) are integrated with the systems developed under the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, and (3) offer opportunities for all students to participate in a performance-based education and training program. Under this framework, all students will be able to earn portable credentials; prepare for their first jobs in high-skill, high-wage careers; and pursue further education.

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.

The Office for School-To-Work at the University of Delaware addresses two major goals: 1. Extend University collaboration with Delaware public schools. 2. Assist the Delaware Department of Education in advancing its school-to-work initiatives. The Office for School-To-Work is in the business of building bridges - between educators, their students, employers and the communities they serve. By doing so, we will expand the knowledge of teachers, counselors, and school administrators about career opportunities for their students and skills and knowledge required to enter those careers. The Office for School-To-Work focuses on programs and services. They are listed above. These programs serve thousands of young people in our schools and they require many volunteers to make them work. One program requires only one hour of volunteer time per year. Another requires 15 total hours of combined training and presentations. There is surely one that fits your interests and availability. Please take a look at the opportunities that you have to make a difference in your community.

USGS and School-to-Work Partnership Going Strong
By Susan Horton
June 2001 in this issue: previous story next story School may have be out for the summer but students and teachers keep coming to the USGS National Wetlands Research Center through the School-to-Work Partnership. The School-to-Work Partnership is a nationwide initiative that uses the workplace and the classroom and activities that connect the two to prepare students after high school graduation to move successfully into the workplace or to pursue further education and training. On June 5th, over 75 high school students visited NWRC to talk with USGS scientists about their research and career choices. Amphibians, wetland plants, invasive species, neotropical migratory birds, water quality, habitat mapping-no matter what scientists are studying, their message to students came through loud and clear. "Love what you do!" Teachers also had a chance to work alongside these enthusiastic USGS scientists and geographers during a week long (June 5th-8th) educator internship at NWRC. Two middle school science teachers and one high school biology/chemistry teacher worked in the laboratories, greenhouses and in the field and will take their experiences back to the classroom to prepare students better for the world of work and lifelong learning.
