Abstract	The Southern Regional Education Board-State Vocational Education Consortium conducted a Fall 1992 forum as part of ongoing staff development for High Schools that Work leaders. It was devoted to the changing nature of the workplace and the need for upgraded standards of what to teach and what to expect of students in high school vocational courses. The keynote speech (Anthony Carnevale) described how international competition was changing the workplace and emphasized that more and more workers were required to possess broad skills. Increasingly, rank-and-file employees were called on to identify and solve problems, make decisions, negotiate, and learn new tasks. State and school leaders described efforts to work with employers to develop youth apprenticeship programs and ways to combine the apprenticeship initiative with the High Schools that Work program. Business, industry, and school leaders told about using standards developed cooperatively by employers and educators to modernize and upgrade the quality of vocational courses. Educational innovators described organization of academy or school-within-a-school efforts to involve employers in creating an integrated program of high-status vocational and academic studies using school and worksite settings. School leaders and teachers shared information on new and revised vocational courses that required students to use higher-level academic and technical content. (YLB)
