N.Y. Education Law Section 3602-D
Work-prep education program

1.

Legislative findings. The legislature recognizes that rapid technological advances and global economic competition demand increased levels of skilled career education preparation and readiness on the part of youths entering the workforce. Effective strategies reaching beyond the boundaries of traditional schooling are necessary to provide early and sustained intervention by parents, teachers, and educational institutions in the lives of students. The establishment of a work-prep education program requiring systematic career education articulation agreements between secondary schools and post-secondary educational institutions is such a strategy. Youths participating in this program will develop the skills in liberal arts, basic academics, including literacy instruction, and career fields necessary to acquire an associate degree or certificate increasingly required for positions in the workforce.
