„Workplace-oriented training can help youth attain development goals such as personal autonomy, efficacy, motivation, realism, optimism, and knowledge of vocations. It facilitates matching between workers and firms, and motivates adolescents to acquire relevant academic and noncognitive skills. […] Programmes that integrate school and work not only motivate students to learn relevant academic material but also integrate adolescents into the larger society and teach children the skills valued in the workplace and in society at large.“
