This guide offers a framework for action for employer associations to help their members develop school-to-career programs that reflect the needs of today's workplace. The framework for action covers three areas: (1) identifying the major constituents; (2) understanding the constituents' needs; and (3) helping employers effect change. The framework recognizes the different roles an association might play at the local, state, and national levels and acknowledges the interdependence among the three levels. Throughout the guide, examples of programs and activities conducted by various associations are provided. An appendix contains a classification framework for employer associations to use in creating school-to-career programs. (KC)
