Miguel, Richard J., Ed.
These proceedings summarize the information exchanged at a teleconference involving more than 3,000 participants focusing on the following aspects of the relationship between schooling and employment: (1) what employers are looking for in employees, (2) employers' priorities in making hiring decisions, and (3) education and training on the job. Included in the volume are an introduction, a transcript of the teleconference, a series of audioconference questions and answers, a conference evaluation, suggestions for further reading, and a directory of conference facilitators and sites. Addressed in the questions-and-answers section are the following topics: collaboration, basic skills, cognitive skills, attitudes, job search skills, training, cooperative learning, special populations, guidance counseling and placement, and the role of vocational education in preparation for employment.
