An indepth investigation into careerrelated programmes in American secondary schools and twoyear further education colleges is given in this book. In addition to reviewing evidence on the effectiveness of vocational coursework, the authors analyse programmes involving students who study and work simultaneously, including cooperative education, youth apprenticeship and schoolbased enterprise.; Chapters deal with the problems encountered in the schooltowork transition: the preparation necessary not only for this transition but for changes encountered when jobs end abruptly, and issues covered include combining schoolbased and workbased learning and teaching and linking secondary with post secondary education. Research on programmes involving students simultaneously working and at school, including nonschoolsupervised employment is also covered, as is cooperative education, which places students in jobs related to their fields of study. The traditional elements of postschool education and training are discussed together with an investigation into newer approaches including career academics and career magnet schools and programmes bridging secondary and post secondary education. Additionally, selected studies of programmes for out ofschool youth are reviewed.; To conclude, the authors consider new schooltowork systems and whether specially designed programmes for the 'noncollegebound' students would be stigmatised as second best, or if an alternative programme could maintain an option for students to attend four year colleges and universities, the latter making the design and operation of schooltowork systems more difficult. Of interest to administrators, teachers, policy makers, analysts and employers, the findings in this book will shed light on the viability of new schoolto work initiatives currently being implemented in the UK, Europe and USA.
