1999 Tools for the Future Workshop Resource Notebook
Building Effective School-to-Work Partnerships with Employers to Benefit All Youth, Including Youth with Disabilities
- The following resources were compiled in a 3-ring binder notebook as supplemental materials for participants of the NTA Tools for the Future workshop, held February 22-23, 1999 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Since many of these resources were downloaded off the Internet, we decided to make this notebook available in Web format.
- Resources that are hyperlinked will take you to the document being referenced. Resources that are merely bolded are not available on the Web. If you would like a hard copy, please contact the organizational source, as indicated.
- We hope you find this abridged Web-based resource notebook useful!
