Students work every day and learn job specific skills, work habits, and social skills that are necessary for success in entry-level positions in business and industry. Students either are hired into permanent positions after they participate in training at the worksites or they find employment elsewhere with the help of the teacher and service agencies that work with the school. To date, over 100 students were placed in dentistry alone. In addition to site development and mentoring, Dr. Napoliello works with the Essex County Dental Society, the New Jersey Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Assistants' Association, the Newark Dental club, the Fauchard Dental Society, and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He is a Trustee of Delta Dental Plan of New Jersey and President of the Delta Dental Endowment Association.
Extensive time is devoted to curriculum development.
Dr. Napoliello has worked with industry-based certificate programs and other certifications. This labor union provided the curriculum-level for secondary carpentry vocational programs to area vocational schools and high schools that offer carpentry programs. The International provided districts with curriculum materials that include major tasks and competencies, hand tools, equipment, and health and safety, which can be used alone or in conjunction with the established curriculum. Materials were presented in both floppy disk and CD-ROM formats. Reference materials pertaining to the history of labor-management relations were identified.
