From the author: Schools are a critical area for labor-management cooperation for reasons that need no elaboration. Some dramatic educational examples were identified by the Secretary of Labor's Task Force. The article contributed here from the educational arena focuses on a cooperative effort by labor and management in a vocational-technical system in Connecticut to reduce the instance and impact of student conflict. As a collaborative effort, jointly sponsored objectives and training were introduced to good result, making schools safer and more productive for teachers and students. Probably, a project that requires this level of teacher commitment and change in traditional methods could only succeed as a joint project. Hence, the lessons are especially valuable as we think of how to make changes in schools or any other service. As an article reporting on the results as a follow-up to an earlier piece in Public Personnel Management, this useful piece describes the Labor-Management Team's evolution and achievements in using a cooperative process to make decisions, overcome obstacles, measure results, plan for the future and ultimately begin to change the culture. The favorable results have generated interest in a possible application of conflict resolution methodology to labor contract administration and the grievance process.

Unsufficient Business Knowledge
Although this book is designed to suite the objectives of the CIE Business Diploma - Standard Level, however, the provided knowledge is incomplete and doesn't satisfy the objectives of all modules. It hardly provides definitions of the titles without explaining these titles. The reader got to look for external resources to get the module objectives covered. ... Read more

Product Description
This book attempts to synthesize contemporary research on school-to-work transitions from a number of different disciplines in the social sciences, including economics, industrial relations, sociology and education. It does this in a way which should be comprehensible to education and training practitioners, applied economists and sociologists, advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in the aforementioned disciplines and civil servants concerned with education, training and employment issues. Following this brief introduction, the book is structured into three main parts. Part I is concerned mainly with descriptive analyses and draws on recent experiences of the school-to-work transition, reform ideas, policy successes and failures in the United States, Sweden and Switzerland.

Part II consists mainly of applied work and outlines the crucial role of, amongst other things, formal qualifications and on-the-job work experience in the United Kingdom, Germany and Norway. One chapter spreads the net more widely and undertakes a broader analysis to examine the link between formal qualifications and employment, whilst the other two chapters focus on particular educational levels, i.e. vocational training and higher education, respectively.The final part of the book takes a closer look at the role education and training can play to overcome the problems of unemployment and social exclusion. These chapters highlight the social policy angle of education and training by drawing on empirical material from the Netherlands, Finland and Northern Ireland. Particular issues of concern include educational mismatch, long-term marginalisation and social exclusion on the grounds of economic, social and religious equality. ... Read more
