STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL-TO-CAREER PARTNERSHIPS

A new publication describes this program’s successes and outcomes, such as improved rates of enrolling in higher education among participating students and increased academic success and engagement. The report also offers seven key elements of a successful school-to-career partnership and offers recommendations for schools, businesses, and funding agencies wishing to undertake similar efforts.
