Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do so many high school students drop out, and what are the consequences for the students, their families, and society in general? This work discusses answers to these questions, and examines topics dealing with the issues, policies, and problems associated with leaving school early.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As anxieties about America's economic competitiveness mounted in the 1980s, so too did concerns that the nation's schools were not adequately preparing young people for the modern workplace. Spurred by widespread joblessness and job instability among young adults, the federal government launched ambitious educational reforms in the 1990s to promote career development activities for students. In recent years, however, the federal government has shifted its focus to test-based reforms like No Child Left Behind that emphasize purely academic subjects. At this critical juncture in education reform, Improving School-To-Work Transitions, edited by David Neumark, weighs the successes and failures of the '90s-era school-to-work initiatives, and assesses how high schools, colleges, and government can help youths make a smoother transition into stable, well-paying employment. Drawing on evidence from national longitudinal studies, surveys, interviews, and case studies, the contributors to Improving School-To-Work Transitions offer thought-provoking perspectives on a variety of aspects of the school-to-work problem. Deborah Reed, Christopher Jepsen, and Laura Hill emphasize the importance of focusing school-to-work programs on the diverse needs of different demographic groups, particularly immigrants, who represent a growing proportion of the youth population. David Neumark and Donna Rothstein investigate the impact of school-to-work programs on the "forgotten half," students at the greatest risk of not attending college. Using data from the 1997 National Longitudinal Study of Youth, they find that participation by these students in programs like job shadowing, mentoring, and summer internships raise employment and college attendance rates among men and earnings among women. In a study of nine high schools with National Academy Foundation career academies, Terry Orr and her fellow researchers find that career academy participants are more engaged in school and are more likely to attend a four-year college than their peers. Nan Maxwell studies the skills demanded in entry-level jobs and finds that many supposedly "low-skilled" jobs actually demand extensive skills in reading, writing, and math, as well as the "new basic skills" of communication and problem-solving. Maxwell recommends that school districts collaborate with researchers to identify which skills are most in demand in their local labor markets. At a time when test-based educational reforms are making career development programs increasingly vulnerable, it is worth examining the possibilities and challenges of integrating career-related learning into the school environment. Written for educators, policymakers, researchers, and anyone concerned about how schools are shaping the economic opportunities of young people, Improving School-To-Work Transitions provides an authoritative guide to a crucial issue in education reform.

Book Synopsis Young Adult Development at the School-to-Work Transition by : E. Anne Marshall
Download or read book Young Adult Development at the School-to-Work Transition written by E. Anne Marshall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The school-to-work transition is a critical part of the human life-span for young adults, their families, and society. The timing of the transition varies greatly and its co-occurrence with a number of other life transitions make it challenging to summarize or generalize. Individual differences and normative developmental factors, as well as external contextual factors such as global pandemics, changing economic circumstances, workplace demands, and cultural shifts, intersect to create a range of challenges and opportunities for those navigating this transition. Written by internationally renowned scholars in developmental psychology, applied psychology, counseling, and sociology, the chapters in this book highlight the trends, issues, and actions that researchers, academics, practitioners, and policy makers need to consider in order to effectively support young adults' transition to work pathways. This volume provides an explicitly international perspective on this area, broad coverage of psychological topics on the school-to-work transition, and an inclusive focus on sub-groups and minority groups, making it a must-read for those who support young adults as they move from school to work.

Book Synopsis Transitions from School to Work by : Ingrid Schoon
Download or read book Transitions from School to Work written by Ingrid Schoon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-08-24 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume makes an important contribution to the growing literature on the transition from school to work. It provides a unique perspective on the global changes that have transformed school-to-work transitions since the 1970s; offers an integrative conceptual framework for analysis; and promotes a comparative, cross-national understanding of school-to-work transitions in a changing social context. The articles assembled in this volume compare and assess variations in school-to-work transitions across Europe and North America, providing empirical evidence on how young people negotiate the different options and opportunities available and assessing the costs and returns associated with different transition strategies. Unlike many other volumes on this subject - which are pitched at either the macro or micro level - this volume attempts to integrate both perspectives, capturing the complexity of this critical life course transition. Furthermore, the authors address policies aimed at improving the capacity of individuals to make effective transitions and at enabling societies to better coordinate educational and occupational institutions.

Book Synopsis The Transition from School to Work by : Michael A. West
Download or read book The Transition from School to Work written by Michael A. West and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1982 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study examined the school-to-work transition of a group of 16-year-olds from two mining communities in Nottinghamshire, England. During the study, the 174 school leavers were interviewed within 6 months prior to their leaving school. Nine months later, 103 of the original 174 youths were interviewed again. Finally, the youths were asked to complete a short questionnaire approximately 2.5 years after beginning their working lives. A total of 154 of the original respondents returned the questionnaire. Included among the topics covered during the various interviews were the following: the youths' attitudes toward school and their teachers, occupational choice, means of finding jobs and sources of help, aims and attainments, entry into work, work attitudes, attitudes toward their supervisors, career changes, and school-to-work transitions. Those adolescents who attended the school with academic streaming had significantly more positive attitudes toward school and their teachers and significantly more negative attitudes toward their jobs than did their counterparts from the school that does not have academic streaming. While the adolescent girls in the study appeared to like school more than did their male counterparts, they were less happy at work, less apt to be considering promotion, and lower paid. (MN)
Book Synopsis Transition from School to Work by : Siew Ghee Chew
Download or read book Transition from School to Work written by Siew Ghee Chew and published by Cavendish Square Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an ethnographic research study on the transition from school to work (TSW) experiences of nine Form Five school leavers in Malaysia who possess different academic abilities and who came from different family and ethnic backgrounds. This study examines how they resolve the work-study dilemma as well as how they made their career choices, indicating that career decisions are linked to the culture and identities of the subjects. In this book, the author endeavors to bring to attention the subjects experiences as they navigate their way through the social structures that confront them throughout this transitional period. Through the descriptions of their life stories and experiences, he seeks to highlight the dilemmas faced by the young men as well as the often difficult and painful process of decision-making in their TSW. Attention has also been drawn to the structural constraints that they encounter and also the resources and strategies they employ to deal with these constraints

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College is a key piece of the career pathways taken by many young adults today. However, college education is not a homogenous experience and varies in meaningful ways including the occurrence and timing of entry, type, and degree receipt. Moreover, many youth bypass college altogether and instead directly transition into the job market. Yet education and work after high school have commonly been examined as separate domains, often measured as binary transitions. Moreover, research on career development during the transition to adulthood has tended to ignore the contribution of employment. My research centers on providing a more comprehensive approach in understanding young adults’ early career development by modeling career transitions that encompass diverse postsecondary education and work experiences, which may occur both with and without each other. I use National Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), a longitudinal nationally representative dataset to identify young adults’ career pathways and further explore the contextual factors that shape them and their links to subjective and objective career outcomes.
