Survey article on the effectiveness of work-experience programs in Canadian schools. The article has a good typology of work experience programs and offers some decidedly unsurprising conclusions:

- Assign a dedicated coordinator to oversee the program to ensure its success
- Develop a ‘contract' between the employer and the student that sets out reasonable expectations for each party
- Prepare students in advance
