RE: Schools' Role in Workforce Preparation

How about Junior Acheivement.  I am an instructor for that progrma and I can see where similar programs could work.  In addiiton the ROP program is a great opportunity to expose kids to real world work.  If you took the Junior Achivement concept and twitsted it so that kids come to the employer and get a monthly presentation from a local employer that emphasises the various activities in the orgnaization from marketing to manufacturing to finance, it would be a great eye opener.
