And what can the United States-where far too many young people currently enter adulthood without adequate preparation for the twenty-first-century job market-learn, adopt, and adapt from these other systems?In Schooling in the Workplace, Nancy Hoffman addresses these questions head on, arguing that the smartest and quickest route to a wide variety of occupations for the majority of young people in the successful countries-not a default for failing students-is a vocational program that integrates work and learning. As she notes, the programs that successfully integrate work and learning all share a fundamental commitment to helping young people find successful careers: The purpose is not college for all, as in the United States today, but rather to provide the education and training young people need to prepare for a career or calling.Schooling in the Workplace explores the vocational education programs in a wide range of countries, focusing in rich and useful detail on six in particular: Australia, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland. Framing these discussions, however, is a persistent focus on American circumstances and challenges. Far more than a survey of six foreign programs, this is a book prompted by and organized around the policy and practical challenges facing the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52161727332640,"sku":"NEW1612501117","price":30.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71YRXe6dbuL.jpg?v=1786134062","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/schooling-in-the-workplace-how-six-of-the-worlds-best-vocational-education-systems-prepare-young-people-for-jobs-and-life-work-and-learning-series-1612501117","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
