Status of and Recommendations for Improved Counseling, Guidance, and Information Processes. Apprenticeship 2000

摘要

The study takes several different but related approaches to identify ways to better link vocational education with apprenticeship. First, it surveys the existing literature to explore linkages between vocational education and apprenticeship and identifies key issues involved in the relationship between vocational-technical education including guidance, and apprenticeships. Second, it then validates these issues through personal interviews with a sample of state guidance leaders, as well as seeking input from these individuals concerning solutions. Finally based on these data, recommendations are proposed to the Department of Labor in all of the relevant areas which are believed to have an impact toward the improvement of linkages.
