Wisconsin's school-to-work initiative is being led by citizens representing business and industry, education, organized labor, community groups, and governmental entities from all over the state. They share a vision for improving how students are prepared to become successful citizens, productive workers, and lifelong learners. This booklet describes the use of various partnerships needed to build a local school-to-work system. Lists of suggested activities are presented for education on the elementary, middle and junior high, high school, and postsecondary levels. The booklet also includes background information on school-to-work, Wisconsin's school-to-work model, creating partnerships, and tips on getting started, and roles and activities for various grade levels.
