An evaluation study is being conducted to determine the impact of the Washington state legislature's 3-year investment of $2.55 million to enable schools to plan and implement a school-to-work transition program (STW). The key components of the evaluation consist of a written survey of the 33 STW coordinators in the state and case study site visits to 10 communities throughout the state that are engaged in STW. Survey results indicate the following: (1) a total of 45,718 junior and senior high school students are involved in STW activities as a result of state funding, the largest number of students involved in career exploration and in listening to guest speakers; (2) progress is being made in implementing the six core elements of STW as a result of state funding; (3) business and industry are active partners and are involved in providing speakers for career days, participating in curriculum development, and assisting in defining program outcomes; (4) STW funds are being used most frequently for staff development, purchase of equipment and materials, curriculum development, and general administration of the projects; and (5) the findings from this survey provide a baseline for measuring growth in future years.
