Re: CAMP Summary Day 5: Workforce Preparation and Business Linkages
I like the dialogue on accountability. The focus on transition to job is good idea. Yet I see two problems to overcome. One, the excesive focus/prestige alloted to the 1/3 who go off to college. That has been and is the measure of a schools success. Two, who gets hired is a complicated process. How do you measure the success of a school that trains well for jobs that are not present in that town, I'm thinking of places like in the central valley where unemployment reaches 50%. Still, the effort to change the focus, has to be better as long as we look at the actual world these students have to face and prepare them for that. |
