The Education for Employment Initiative is a cooperative effort of the School District of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Office of Employment Security, and the Private Industry Council to increase the employment opportunities for students and assist them in making the transition from school to work. In the 1987-88 school year, two locations were added to the original four sites. In addition to providing career assessment and counseling, job referral, and preemployment training services, the employment centers in the six schools have a dropout prevention component. The Cities-in-Schools (CIS) program is a coordinated effort of the school district, governmental departments, and community-based organizations to meet the needs of a targeted group of at-risk students and increase their graduation rates. Services, which are delivered during the school day, take the form of re-positioned personnel or special programs and presentations, or they are provided on an as-needed, on-call basis. For the 1987-88 school year, the Pennsylvania Department of Education replicated the Philadelphia CIS model in 14 school districts under the name "Successful Students' Partnership." (Six tables summarize information on attendance rates, services provided, employment center information, CIS program information, participating agencies, and student achievement.) (YLB)
