    The school-based learning component of a School-to-Work 
Opportunities program shall include--
        (1) career awareness and career exploration and counseling 
    (beginning at the earliest possible age, but not later than the 7th 
    grade) in order to help students who may be interested to identify, 
    and select or reconsider, their interests, goals, and career majors, 
    including those options that may not be traditional for their 
    gender, race, or ethnicity;
        (2) initial selection by interested students of a career major 
    not later than the beginning of the 11th grade;
        (3) a program of study designed to meet the same academic 
    content standards the State has established for all students, 
    including, where applicable, standards established under the Goals 
    2000: Educate America Act [20 U.S.C. 5801 et seq.], and to meet the 
    requirements necessary to prepare a student for postsecondary 
    education and the requirements necessary for a student to earn a 
    skill certificate;
        (4) a program of instruction and curriculum that integrates 
    academic and vocational learning (including applied methodologies 
    and team-teaching strategies), and incorporates instruction, to the 
    extent practicable, in all aspects of an industry, appropriately 
    tied to the career major of a participant;
        (5) regularly scheduled evaluations involving ongoing 
    consultation and problem solving with students and school dropouts 
    to identify their academic strengths and weaknesses, academic 
    progress, workplace knowledge, goals, and the need for additional 
    learning opportunities to master core academic and vocational 
    skills; and
        (6) procedures to facilitate the entry of students participating 
    in a School-to-Work Opportunities program into additional training 
    or postsecondary education programs, as well as to facilitate the 
    transfer of the students between education and training programs.
