Kiely, Julia A.; Ruhnke, Julia
Journal of Vocational Education and Training: The Vocational Aspect of Education, v50 n4 p487-501 1998
Comparison of 38 business studies graduates in a four-year sandwich program (with one-year job placement) and 23 with a two-year diploma, one-year conversion to bachelor's program showed that sandwich graduates were more successful in job placement and salary. The conversion group were disadvantaged by lack of work experience and lower academic achievement. (SK)
