It is crucial that all students are able to enter the workforce upon graduation or are prepared to move on to institutions of higher education. If we can keep our students interested in learning, the benefits will be immeasurable. Students gain a clear idea of career possibilities awaiting them and become more motivated to learn. Teachers are invigorated by community involvement. Dropout rates decline and universities gain serious students who know more about what they want and expect out of a college education.
Businesses gain well-educated, conscientious workers who are productive from day one.
