Abstract	This document highlights the school-to-careers (STC) partnerships connecting workplace experiences to classroom learning to prepare students for successful employment in the automotive industry. First, the current state of the automotive industry is reviewed and the role of STC in addressing automotive service needs is explained. Next, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence's skill certification standards for eight specific areas of the automotive industry are discussed. The following programs are profiled: Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES) (an automotive industry effort integrating a standards-based high school curriculum with a work-based learning component within car dealerships) and National Employer Leadership Council Employer Participation Model (a resource for employers considering involvement in STC and for education and community organizations seeking ways to reach out to employers). Specific activities and programs were profiled: (1) Red River Motor Company in Bossier City, Louisiana (a program reaching out to students to promote automotive careers); (2) the General Motors Learning Applied Business program in Berkeley, California (a program coupling local car dealerships and high schools to provide career exploration activities); (3) Crown Auto World in Bristow, Oklahoma (a program providing mentors and internships to high school students); and (4) Auto Nation Jeep Chrysler in Longwood, Florida (a program providing a teacher 'externship' in the workplace). Concluding the booklet are strategies for getting involved in STC and a glossary. (MN)
