School-to-Work

In the State of New Hampshire, work-based learning plays an integral role in workforce preparation. The goal of the School-to-Work initiative in New Hampshire is to prepare all students with the skills, abilities and knowledge necessary to make good career choices. Work based learning prepares our youth to become independent adults with opportunities for advanced education and career exploration, thus enhancing our economic strength. Schools and communities must work together in partnership to build a foundation of work-based learning and to provide the resources necessary to help all youth acquire the skills necessary to become independent and productive citizens.
