Most students leaving high school do not go on to college. For them, there is no educational strategy that results in high-skill, high-wage jobs. Instead, they go on to low-skill, low-wage occupations. Education reform is based on coordinating our educational and social needs with our economic needs and focusing on high-skill development, thus resulting in high wages for graduating students. As this new paradigm evolves, an opportunity exists to eliminate the separation between special education and regular education. This article offers strategies to increase the ties between school and business for all students leaving high school but not going on to college.
