This guide was developed to provide assistance in developing and implementing school-to-work programs for the plastics industry throughout the state of Michigan. It is a resource for plastics companies, school districts, community colleges, business development organizations, local governments, work force development boards, or any group interested in starting a partnership for plastics school-to-work programs. The guide contains project summaries and documents on a wide range of topics, organized into six sections: (1) background on the Michigan Jobs Commission and the Michigan Plastics Industry Roundtable; (2) national school-to-work resources, including trade associations and websites; (3) Michigan school-to-work resources, including Michigan business resources, school-to-work in Michigan, plastics school-to-work programs in Michigan, and the Michigan Occupational Information System and the Michigan Center for Career and Technical Education; (4) promoting and recruiting for the program; (5) integrated curriculum, including manufacturing skills, plastics skills, and employability skills; and (6) plastics school-to-work components and tools, such as class activities, visitors and tours, job shadowing, student portfolios, student internships, apprenticeships, and evaluation.
