LAC 28:LXXXI.901. School-to-Work Transition

A. The School-to-Work Opportunities Act establishes a national framework to broaden the educational, career, and economic opportunities for all youth through partnerships between businesses, schools, community-based organizations, and state and local governments. 1. Workplaces become active learning environments. 2. Employers become joint partners with educators to train students. 3. Schools challenge students to higher academic and skill standards. B. School-to-work opportunities grow from strong partnerships at the state and local community level that design and implement systems tailored to meet specific needs. School-to-work systems contain three core elements: 1. school-based learning; 2. work-based learning; and 3. connecting activities.
