School-to-Work Transition

Paris and Mason (1995) offer the following definition of school-to-work transition:

"School-to-work transition as defined here means the process of moving students from high school into postsecondary education and/or work with the goal of preparing them for high-skill, and high-wage occupations. As such, it is an effort that should touch all students--those bound for 4-year colleges and universities as well as those who plan to attend a community or technical college or begin work. All students should be prepared for postsecondary education whether it consists of workplace training, a course, an associate degree, a baccalaureate degree or other learning endeavors." (p. 2)
