This article presents information on the characteristics and postschool outcomes of more than 3,000 youth who participated in the Bridges from School-to-Work internship program at seven sites from 1993 to 1997. Gender, race, and primary disability did not make a significant difference in employment status at six months post-internship. According to the authors, work behaviors during the internship were highly predictive of later employment status.
