Apprenticeship as a Transition to Adulthood in West Germany.

Hamilton, Stephen F.

American Journal of Education, v95 n2 p314-45 Feb 1987

While the United States has no effective bridges between school and work, half of West Germany's 16 to 18-year-olds learn a career in the workplace while attending school one day a week. This model can be adapted for American students to increase their employment opportunities and make academic learning easier. (Author/LHW)
