School-To-Work Opportunities Act of 1993 by United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Labor and Human Resources. Subcommittee on Employment and Productivity Pdf

This document records the oral and written given by witnesses at a Congressional hearing on the School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1993 held in Fall 1993. Witnesses included Senators, the U.S. Secretary of Education, the U.S. Secretary of Labor, business officials, school officials, and program directors of various local and state programs. The testimony noted that the United States is one of the few Western nations that does not provide a career path for noncollege-bound students. It was suggested that formal programs encompassing the last 2 years of high school and 1-2 years after high school be set up to provide students with skills and certification. Cooperation between school systems and business and industry is essential to set up such programs. Testimony also profiled various successful programs throughout the country, such as "academies" for various industries set up within high schools. Such programs have resulted in students not only gaining job skills but also going on for further training or college education. Also stressed was the need to set and adhere high standards and to have staff encouraging young people to look to their futures. (KC)

The School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1993 by United States Committee on La Resources Pdf

Excerpt from The School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1993: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Employment and Productivity of the Committee on Labor and Human Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session on S. 1361, to Establish a National Framework for the Development of School-to-W The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:06 p.m., in room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Paul Simon (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Simon, Pell, Wofford, and Thurmond. Senator Simon. The hearing will come to order. My apologies first of all to the Secretaries and my colleague Senator Hatfield. I will postpone making my own opening statement here, because we are going to be facing a couple of votes in about a half hour on the floor of the Senate. And if the two Secretaries do not object too strenuously, I am going to call on my colleague Senator Hatfield first for an opening statement. We are pleased to have him as a cosponsor of this legislation and pleased to have you here as a witness. Statement of the Hon. Mark O. Hatfield, a U.S. Senator from the State of Oregon Senator Hatfield. Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Senator Durenberger. First, I consider it a distinct honor to be in company with the Secretary of Education and the Secretary of Labor. And I want to say that Secretary Riley and Secretary Reich certainly are giving tremendous leadership in an area that is badly needed in this country. Mr. Chairman. I would like to have my full statement placed in the record, and then I will highlight it. Senator Simon. We will enter it in the record. Senator Hatfield. Mr. Chairman, as you know, the United States is the only industrialized country in the world that lacks a comprehensive system to help our young people learn the knowledge, skills, abilities and information to move into the labor market and to be an effective person in that labor market for a career in that labor market. Now, lest one identify this as purely an educational problem, it is not. This is now a global matter. It is not just a local, State or national issue alone. It is a global issue, because being the only Nation that does not have this kind of system or network, we are not maintaining a competitive role in the world marketsplace.

Work in America [2 volumes] by Carl E. Van Horn,Herbert A. Schaffner Pdf

The first comprehensive analysis of work and the workforce in the United States, from the Industrial Revolution to the era of globalization. This comprehensive two-volume reference book is the first to analyze the central role of work and the workforce in U.S. life from the Industrial Revolution through today's information economy. Drawing on a variety of disciplines—economics, public policy, law, human and civil rights, cultural studies, and organizational psychology—its 256 entries examine key events, concepts, institutions, and individuals in labor history. Entries also tackle tough contemporary questions that reflect the conflicts inherent in capitalism. What is the impact of work on families and communities? On minority and immigrant populations? How shall we respond to changing work roles and the growing influence of the transnational corporation? Work in America describes and evaluates attempts to address social and class issues—affirmative action, occupational health and safety, corporate management science, and trade unionism and organized labor—and offers the kind of comprehensive understanding needed to discover workable solutions.
