Schooling in the Workplace
How Six of the World's Best Vocational Education Systems Prepare Young People for Jobs and Life
Ebook (EPUB Format)
Which non-American education systems best prepare young people for fulfilling jobs and successful adult lives? And what can the United States-where far too many young people currently enter adulthood without adequate preparation for the twenty-first-century job market-learn, adopt, and adapt from these other systems?

Which non-American education systems best prepare young people for fulfilling jobs and successful adult lives? And what can the United States-where far too many young people currently enter adulthood without adequate preparation for the twenty-first-century job market-learn, adopt, and adapt from these other systems? In Schooling in the Workplace, Nancy Hoffman addresses these questions head on, arguing that the smartest and quickest route to a wide variety of occupations for the majority of young people in the successful countries-not a default for failing students-is a vocational program that integrates work and learning. As she notes, the programs that successfully integrate work and learning all share a fundamental commitment to helping young people find successful careers: The purpose is not 'college for all,' as in the United States today, but rather to provide the education and training young people need to prepare for a career or calling. Schooling in the Workplace explores the vocational education programs in a wide range of countries, focusing in rich and useful detail on six in particular: Australia, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland. Framing these discussions, however, is a persistent focus on American circumstances and challenges. Far more than a survey of six foreign programs, this is a book prompted by and organized around the policy and practical challenges facing the United States.
