The social and economic development of a state depends in large measure on how effectively its resources are used to provide a workforce geared to the needs of business, industry and labor. A well-educated workforce can attract business, industry and labor to a state and is critical to the economic future. An investment in Education for Employment will provide substantial rewards to the state in the form of enhanced economic development, a well-educated workforce, and community support through partnerships.

Education for Employment promotes economic development from many aspects. It creates opportunities for student learners to become engaged in work-related activities, thereby enhancing their career development and preparation for future employment. It engages the business community in educational issues, enriches the school curriculum, and ensures current workforce needs are met. It also fosters increased student achievement by engaging students and teachers in a more comprehensive educational experience that makes connections between school and work.
