When a program is approved for state/federal subsidy in the field of career and technical education, there is always a record on file with information about the program in the state education department. These records are for program approval, funding, status reports, or final reports. In the big picture of programs in the field of education, these subsidized programs represent only a small percentage of all programs in public schools. There is a much larger category of experiential-learning programs that exists within local school programs and curricula, funded as part of the local school budget, and are not documented outside of the local school program. In most cases, state education departments are not fully aware of these programs since they are designed to meet local needs of students and the community. Teachers and administrators show leadership in program development as they offer unique programs that enhance learning and serve to offer more motivation to students in their related studies. In an effort to identify and share information about existing programs in local schools that utilize internships, field-based learning, experiential learning and non-traditional programs to meet local curricular needs, a study was conducted by this author.
