1994. The Council shall be responsible for: Assessing the progress of 
School-to-Work Opportunities systems development and program 
implementation toward achieving the goals of the School-to-Work 
Opportunities initiative; providing feedback and making recommendations 
to the Steering Committee regarding the progress and direction of 
implementation of the School-to-Work Opportunities initiative; advising 
the Steering Committee on the effectiveness of the new Federal role in 
providing venture capital to States and localities to develop School-
