“…Research shows that discrete career preparation activities (e.g., career day, internship, career-related jobs) did not significantly influence students' immediate education and work attainment after high school (Xing et al, 2019). However, these activities increased students' engagement, assisted on-time completion (Xing & Gordon, 2021), and were likely to influence students' employment outcome in the long term. Compared to discrete career interventions or activities, CTE coursework offers students a more holistic learning experience featuring workbased learning, leadership development, and career exploration and planning, and thus, has a more prominent and direct influence on students' immediate employment outcomes after high school (e.g., Dougherty, 2016;Dougherty et al, 2018;Lee et al, 2016;Mobley et al, 2017;Wagner et al, 2017).…”

Most adolescents and young adults in the U.S. seek employment after high school regardless of their education or work status, yet career readiness and work preparation have not received equal attention as the college readiness and preparation at the secondary level. Using data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:2009), we explored possible connections between individualized learning plans (ILP) and both secondary Career-Technical Education (CTE) course taking and employment goal attainment in the U.S. Results showed that ILPs were positively associated with establishing employment goals, securing employment, and achieving employment goals after high school. Students who had employment goals were likely to earn more CTE credits and had higher probabilities of working after high school. However, ILPs did not moderate the relationship between employment goals and earned CTE credits, nor moderate the relationship between employment goals and work activities. Findings reflect an overlook of integrated college and career readiness preparation and underutilization of school-based career education resources.

The aim of this work was to study the behavior, productivity and conditions of second lactation Bos taurus during the period of adaptation to new keeping and milking conditions. Thirty-four cows of the local black-and-white breed of the second lactation (24-47 days after calving) were transferred from a brick barn for 100 heads with tie-stall keeping in a newly low cost housing facility for 400 heads with free-stall keeping. Milking equipment also changed: before the changing conditions of keeping, cows were milked in the milk duct at UDM-100, and after changing the conditions in the milking parlor at Carousel, 32 cows were milked at the same time. We divided the first 30 days in the new conditions of keeping and milking into VI periods. The duration of the main behavioral reactions: lying down, drinking, and eating food in the first days after changing the conditions of keeping and milking decreased significantly -by 181; 13 and 89 min, respectively. Behavioral responses at the end of the adaptation period (30 days) was lower than on the last day before changing housing and milking conditions. During the first 5 days after the change of housing and milking conditions, the average productivity of cows decreased by 1.39 kg (or 6.01%), content of milk fat, protein and lactose by 0.03; 0.02 and 0.04%, respectively compared to the last day before the transfer of animals. As for the fat content, the level of the indicator of the last day before the cows transfer was reached in the IV period; protein and lactose in the ІІІ period (11-15 days).

Work-based learning takes place in education of competitive employees with required professional qualifications, skills, competence in Latvia. Researchers in many countries in different parts of the globe in their academic research are investigating factors influencing work-based learning. In successful work-based learning all involved stakeholders are important and influential: vocational education institution and its teaching staff and management of this vocation education institution, company where students spend part of their education and skills development process. There are several important aspects recognised as very significant and valuable for consideration in involvement of students in work-based learning analysed in scientific research and reflected in respective scientific internationally peerreviewed publications as well as taken into account in creation of legislative frame for work-based learning and practical implementation of work-based learning with optimal solutions in many countries on the globe and also in the Republic of Latvia. The aim of the research is to analyse aspects of student involvement in work-based learning process. Research methods applied: analysis of scientific peer-reviewed publications, analysis of statistical data related to analysis of tendency of number of vocational education establishments with trend analysis and case studies on work-based learning. Results indicate that there are many requirements for companies to involve students in workbased learning.
