Book Description
This report is based on five regional forums held in 1983 on the topic of business and vocational education. The forums, conducted in cooperation with the National Commission for Employment Policy and the State Advisory Councils on Vocational Education, provided the opportunity for an exchange of ideas and information with representatives of the private sector. Employers discussed their perceptions of vocational education and education generally, their expectations, and areas where improvements are needed. Several themes were heard repeatedly throughout the forums. One was the reliance of employers on high quality vocational programs to provide trained workers. Another was a desire to see improvement in all areas of vocational education to bring programs up to the highest standards and keep them abreast of the latest developments in technology and skill requirements. Also stressed was the need for greater relevance in education generally to the requirements of the workplace so that all students will be prepared to function when they move into the world of work. The businesses represented were willing to work in partnership with education to help improve quality. (This report contains an overview of the forums, a discussion of business-education partnerships, and conclusions and recommendations by the Council.) (KC)

Book Description
A critical component of the nation's economic vitality is ensuring that all Americans can contribute and prosper. Such contributions presuppose an intentional focus on achieving the highest levels of health possible, which requires that conditions in communities, schools workplaces, and other settings promote health and address the social determinants of health for all community members. Many organizations, in both the private and public sectors, have been establishing partnerships to further healthy workplaces and health equity in general. Many are taking the lead in producing economic growth that is inclusive and responsive to the nation's diverse needs and populations. Increasingly, privateâ€"public partnerships are emerging as ways of doing business. Additionally, a variety of new developments in health, health care, and community benefits obligations that are part of the Affordable Care Act have contributed to this interest in economic growth and health and in the creation of new partnerships. To examine past successes and future opportunities, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in November 2015. The workshop focused on the potential of the private sector to produce a triple bottom line: economic opportunity (including workforce development) and growth, healthy work and community environments, and improved employee health. At the same time, participants looked beyond the private sector to publicâ€"private partnerships and to public-sector actions that combine opportunities for economic growth and good health for all. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
