 | | For the United States to remain a competitive player in the global marketplace and experience future growth, associations believed educators must develop fully the "academic and occupational skills of all segments of the population." All students must acquire the "employability skills" that will give them the edge to succeed in the workforce. |
 | | The states included Indiana, South Carolina, Florida, Washington, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New York, Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, and Massachusetts. |
 | | State STW coordinators, selected association representatives, and VocNet subscribers were asked to nominate middle schools where exemplary school-to-work/careers programs had been established. |
