Using the Progress Measures Survey, data was collected from 770 school-to-work (STW) partnerships in 34 states that encompassed almost 36,000 secondary schools with nearly 18 million students, nearly 178,000 employers, and almost 2,600 postsecondary institutions. Substantial gains were found in provision of STW opportunities in schools and modest gains in student participation. Regarding school-based learning activities, 78 percent of schools provided and 56 percent of students participated in activities using work-related curricula; 67 percent of schools provided and 39 percent of students participated in activities integrating academic and vocational curricula. Regarding work-based learning activities, 68 percent of schools provided and 8 percent of students participated in job shadowing; 39 percent of schools and 3 percent of students participated in mentoring; and 46 percent of schools and 3 percent of students participated in internships. Overall business participation was slightly down. Teachers benefited from employer participation through internships. Data showed depth and breadth of STW activities and number of students engaged in activities are directly related to length of time the partnership has been in operation. The significant increase in percentage of partnerships receiving cash funding from outside sources indicated increased attention to alternative funding mechanisms.
