It is truly a win-win for both employer and student. The student gains enhanced career opportunities and the employer the chance to hire proven performers. However, in order to make it work the school must restrict it to the best students and closely monitor the employer's experience. I would recommend that each Oswego school participate to the fullest extent that they can manage.
