The Departments of Labor and Education have consolidated their resources into one Web site (stw). At this site information about school to work grants, news, providers of technical assistance, and model practices addresses the inquiries of all appropriate constituents--schools and employers as well as labor groups and parents.

Schools, investing in technology, are beginning to keep their doors open after their younger students leave so parents can take advantage of the facilities to learn new skills, too. The Institute for Adult Literacy (psu) offers lessons and tips for adults to acquire stronger English skills. UC Berkeley houses the National Center for Research in Vocational Education for teachers to keep current on techniques for helping learners meet requirements for careers, never dreamt of a few years ago. The Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration maintains a huge database of research, policies, organizations, training models, funding sources, etc. for the modern workforce. The DOEducation showcases model Tech Prep programs.

Coursequest supplies a comprehensive listing of web-based training across subjects and technical topics.

21st Century Skills prepares students for the workplace and society. It will be especially helpful for administrators, building a vision for 21st century schools.
