Witnessing Evolution - A report on the growth of Workplace Learning in Australian Schools to 1999
Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER)
http://www.ecef.com.au/web\km\kmgateway.nsf/
title/Witnessing_Evolution-4YL3C8?opendocument

Witnessing Evolution documents a pattern of growth and change for school-industry programs with workplace learning. In 1995 fewer than half the Australian secondary schools with Year 11 and 12 students provided some form of program that included industry placements. In 1999 that figure was an estimated 86%. The findings also highlight a concentration of students in the tourism and hospitality and business and clerical industries. This report also discusses the school-based new apprenticeships program and compares the management of these programs with non-apprenticeship programs.
