Applied Work-Based Learning at the State University of New York: Situating SUNY Works and Studying Effects
Wagner, Alan; Sun, Ruirui; Zuber, Katie; Strach, Patricia

This report focuses on one of the State University of New York's (SUNY's) applied learning initiatives that includes work-based activities, e.g., co-ops, internships, work study, and clinical placement (SUNY Works). With funds from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, SUNY asked the Rockefeller Institute of Government to examine applied work-based experiences of SUNY Works along two key dimensions. First, situate SUNY Works relative to other applied learning initiatives by asking: "What do other states, systems, and countries do?" "What can SUNY learn from the experiences elsewhere that is relevant for extending work-based applied learning opportunities more widely?" Second, because expanding work-based applied learning experiences includes the implicit goal of expanding worthwhile opportunities for students, "how can SUNY understand the effects of such experiences on the retention and graduation of SUNY students and employment of SUNY graduates?" The report addresses these two dimensions in depth. [The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government is the public policy research arm of the State University of New York (SUNY). For the supplement to this report, see ED605747.]
