How will STW development improve recruitment and retention of employees?

School-To-Work creates an environment that encourages education and business to come together to discuss workforce issues and develop responses to their growing needs. This cooperation addresses the increases in new occupations as well as the need for incumbent workers to upgrade skills. Businesses can recruit qualified workers for all of these new occupations. And because keeping them adequately skilled is one of the most critical tools in retaining employees, businesses can retain their skilled workers.
