The report from the Institute on Education and the Economy at Columbia University indicates early results of the 1994 School-to-Work Opportunities Act are encouraging, but there are areas for improvement given the opportunity presented by reauthorization. The study also found School-to-Work student participants are less likely to drop out of school than non-participants, school attendance and grades improve, and many broaden their career options by going on for post-secondary education.
