The status of work-based learning in the programs/courses of Georgia's technical institutes was reviewed, and issues raised by recent national and state legislation regarding education's role in preparing students for the workplace were identified. It was discovered that a total of 54 occupation-based instruction (OBI) programs are currently being offered at 45% of Georgia's technical institutes. Little uniformity was found with respect to the types of activities included in programs, the sites where activities occur, and the work and study requirements of the various occupational experiences (apprenticeships, practicums, internships, and combinations thereof). It was concluded that, in view of the increasing importance that policymakers and legislators are placing on OBI, future planning for articulation between secondary and postsecondary curricula will require further examination of how OBI will be integrated into tech prep, apprenticeship, and other school-to-work programs. It was further concluded that the process of determining the adequacy and appropriateness of OBI courses/programs in technical institutes must be a collaborative effort involving tech prep/apprenticeship coordinators, state-level administrators, technical institute faculty, and researchers. (Appendixes constituting approximately 75% of this document contain tables summarizing OBI activities and courses with a work-based learning component at Georgia technical institutes.) (MN)
