Editorial Reviews
Review
The authors, all respected figures in the school-to-work field, bring a committed but critical perspective to their search for a workable educational reform that can straddle America's ever-waning investment in traditional vocational education and the realization that not all high school students are bound for four-year institutions....Working Knowledge is a sophisticated and balanced treatment of the preparation of youth for the workplace. It deserves and will undoubtedly receive a wide readership.

This review is from: Working Knowledge: Work-Based Learning and Education Reform (Paperback)
I came across this book while researching improvements to our work experience program for high school students. I found it very helpful and thought provoking as it examines the evidence for work experience supporting Academic Achievement, Career Development,Youth Developmentand new ways of thinking that students would not easily experience in the classroom. Its highly relevant to policy and program design or practitioners wishing to maximise the gains of workplace based learning for young people. A good read.
