"Reinventing" Vocational Education Policy: Pitfalls and Possibilities.
Taylor, Alison; Lehmann, Wolfgang
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v48 n2 p139-61 Sum 2002
Examination of old and new vocational initiatives in Alberta suggests that educators and employers support new school-to-work programs (Tech Prep; Registered Apprenticeships; Careers, the Next Generation). However, these programs are hampered by mixed policy messages; the resilience of existing practices; and lack of provincial resources, research, attention to equity, and clarity in objectives.
