SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) three-fourths of America's high school students enter 
        the work force without baccalaureate degrees, and many do not 
        possess the academic and entry-level occupational skills 
        necessary to succeed in the changing American workplace;
            (2) a substantial number of American youth, especially 
        disadvantaged students, students of diverse racial, ethnic, and 
        cultural backgrounds, and students with disabilities, do not 
        complete school;
            (3) unemployment among American youth is intolerably high, 
        and earnings of high school graduates have been falling 
        relative to earnings of persons with more education;
            (4) the American workplace is changing in response to 
        heightened international competition and new technologies, and 
        such forces, which are ultimately beneficial to the Nation, are 
        shrinking the demand for and undermining the earning power of 
        unskilled labor;
            (5) the United States lacks a comprehensive and coherent 
        system to help its youth acquire the knowledge, skills, 
        abilities, and information about and access to the labor market 
        necessary to make an effective transition from school to 
        career-oriented work or to further education and training;
            (6) American students can achieve to high standards, and 
        many learn better and retain more when the students learn in 
        context, rather than in the abstract;
            (7) while many American students have part-time jobs, there 
        is infrequent linkage between--
                    (A) such jobs; and
                    (B) the career planning or exploration, or the 
                school-based learning, of such students;
            (8) the work-based learning approach, which is modeled 
        after the time-honored apprenticeship concept, integrates 
        theoretical instruction with structured on-the-job training, 
        and this approach, combined with school-based learning, can be 
        very effective in engaging student interest, enhancing skill 
        acquisition, developing positive work attitudes, and preparing 
        youth for high-skill, high-wage careers; and
            (9) Federal resources currently fund a series of 
        categorical, work-related education and training programs, many 
        of which serve disadvantaged youth, that are not administered 
        as a coherent whole.

SEC. 3. PURPOSES AND CONGRESSIONAL INTENT.

    (a) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are to--
            (1) establish a national framework within which all States 
        can create statewide School-to-Work Opportunities systems 
        that--
                    (A) are a part of comprehensive education reform;
                    (B) are integrated with the State education systems 
                reformed under the Goals 2000: Educate America Act; and
                    (C) offer opportunities for all students to 
                participate in a performance-based education and 
                training program that will--
                            (i) enable the students to earn portable 
                        credentials;
                            (ii) prepare the students for first jobs in 
                        high-skill, high-wage careers; and
                            (iii) increase their opportunities for 
                        further education, including education in a 4-
                        year college or university;
            (2) create a universal, high-quality school-to-work 
        transition system that enables all young Americans to identify 
        and navigate paths to productive and progressively more 
        rewarding roles in the workplace;
            (3) utilize workplaces as active learning environments in 
        the educational process by making employers joint partners with 
        educators in providing opportunities for all students to 
        participate in high-quality, work-based learning experiences;
            (4) use Federal funds under this Act as venture capital, to 
        underwrite the initial costs of planning and establishing 
        statewide School-to-Work Opportunities systems that will be 
        maintained with other Federal, State, and local resources;
            (5) promote the formation of partnerships that are 
        dedicated to linking the worlds of school and work, among 
        secondary schools and postsecondary education institutions, 
        private and public employers, labor organizations, government, 
        community-based organizations, parents, students, State 
        educational agencies, local educational agencies, and training 
        and human service agencies;
            (6) help all students attain high academic and occupational 
        standards;
            (7) build on and advance a range of promising school-to-
        work transition programs, such as tech-prep education programs, 
        career academies, school-to-apprenticeship programs, 
        cooperative education programs, youth apprenticeship programs, 
        school-sponsored enterprises, and business-education compacts, 
        that can be developed into programs funded under this Act;
            (8) improve the knowledge and skills of youth by 
        integrating academic and occupational learning, integrating 
        school-based and work-based learning, and building effective 
        linkages between secondary and postsecondary education;
            (9) motivate all youth, including low-achieving youth, 
        youth who have dropped out of school, and youth with 
        disabilities, to stay in or return to school or a classroom 
        setting and strive to succeed, by providing enriched learning 
        experiences and assistance in obtaining good jobs and 
        continuing their education in postsecondary education 
        institutions;
            (10) expose students to a vast array of career 
        opportunities, and facilitate the selection of career majors, 
        based on individual interests, goals, strengths, and abilities; 
        and
            (11) further the National Education Goals set forth in 
        title I of the Goals 2000: Educate America Act.
    (b) Congressional Intent.--It is the intent of Congress that the 
Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Education jointly administer 
this Act, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, in a flexible 
manner that--
            (1) promotes State and local discretion in establishing and 
        implementing School-to-Work Opportunities systems and programs; 
        and
            (2) contributes to reinventing government by--
                    (A) building on State and local capacity;
                    (B) eliminating duplication in education and 
                training programs for youth by integrating such 
                programs into one comprehensive system;
                    (C) maximizing the effective use of resources;
                    (D) supporting locally established initiatives;
                    (E) requiring measurable goals for performance; and
                    (F) offering flexibility in meeting such goals.
