This paper was written in 1992, while Benson was Director of NCRVE. It sets forth a vision of a "new vocationalism" that integrates academic and occupational curriculum, combines classroom instruction with work-based learning, and connects secondary with post-secondary education. The paper explains the rationale, summarizes existing evidence, analyzes obstacles, and discusses the prospects for these changes, (Ed, note: The ideas presented here were subsequently embodied in the federal School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1994.)
