Connecting college and community in the new economy?: an analysis of community college faculty-labor market linkages

Some colleges have made extensive use of local business resources in programme and curriculum development and in recent years have sought to improve these connections through school-to-work activities, including apprenticeships, co-op programmes and work-based learning. Despite the importance of such activities, very little is known of their extent, which types of faculty members participate, and the barriers to making connections. This document reports on evidence from a study of community college linkages with their local labour markets and their wider communities. Show less

About four-and-a-half years ago, the NCRVE began a program of research and service to create and provide effective leadership development services for vocational educators, in response to a widely held view that vocational education does not have the number of effective leaders that are urgently needed. This report summarises the procedures and results of the evaluation of each of ten programs which have been funded at eight different institutions, and contains a meta-analysis of all ten programs. The principle purpose of the evaluation is to derive information and insights useful to others who are planning to develop their own leadership programs. Show less

This research project was based on the premise that the study of institutions in which exemplary vocational education is found might provide insights regarding the nature and importance of this environment. Specifically, a study of exemplary institutions may provide better conceptions of quality instruction and learning environments, a sounder foundation from which to understand and support significant change and improvement, and an avenue of improvement by linking the research in vocational education with other efforts to understand and facilitate institutional improvement.

This detailed report examines the reform process of the workforce development system in 10 states (Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Wisconsin) in the USA through interviews with state officials and local administrators. The report is organised into several sections as follows: an introductory discussion of the growing concern with workforce development; recent state reforms; the challenges of implementation at state level; balancing state and local initiatives; the complex roles of employers; the role of welfare ‘reform’ and ‘work first’; a discussion of the meaning of system-building: linkages and quality; unresolved issues; and the implications for state and federal policy. The appendices provide information about the interview process and a list of localities and states examined. In addition, a list of acronyms used in the report and an extensive list of references are included. In the electronic version of the document there is a link to related readings for this publication. Show less

Employer involvement in work-based learning programs

The 1994 School-to-Work Opportunities Act represented a United States (US) government response to concerns that American youth be well prepared for entry into the world of work. This legislation stipulates access to work-based learning for all students and debate has ensued over whether a national school-to-work system with an effective work-based learning component can be developed. A major issue is the recruitment of sufficient numbers of employers to support the system. This paper reports on the outcomes of a three-year research project which examined this issue with a primary focus on aspects of employer participation and non-participation. The study involved case studies of 12 work-based learning programs at various sites, both urban and rural, a survey of employers taking part in work-based learning programs and a comparison group of non-participating employers in the same labour markets. The research addressed the following questions: can employers be recruited, which strategies are used in recruitment and which are successful, what deters potential employers from participation, and why do employers become involved initially and then stay involved?
