6. Women Scientists: Contradictions and Connections (1991)
Women's Education des femmes, Fall 1991 - Vol. 9, No. 2
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Hilda Ching
Because of predicted labour shortages in the future, more women are being encouraged into scientific careers especially in engineering. However, the few women who are now in science are mostly in biology and biochemistry and in jobs which pay less than men's and with fewer opportunities for advancement.
In this paper, the author discusses some contradictory and contrasting feelings about women. To change the conditions of both science and women, she suggests making some connections. If we are going to encourage and increase the numbers of women in science, we need to understand and change the constructs of science and women.

8. Work-Based Learning - A Resource Guide for Change (1996)
Authors: Hudson River Center for Program Development, Inc.
A school-to-work opportunities system has three essential components: school-based learning, work-based learning, and connections between the two. This document focuses on the activities necessary to implement the work-based learning component of a school-to-work system for secondary educators. The content of the information in this document may be adapted for general work experience and local use.
The guide is based on the work of Stephen and Mary Agnes Hamilton of the Cornell Youth and Work Program. Their report entitled “Work-based Learning: A Manual for Practitioners” provides the foundation for this practitioner-focused "how to" approach. Further input was gathered during a focus group of work-based learning practitioners from schools and business.
