There are two perspectives on the junior high school students' learning through work experience: one focuses on how such an experience effects vocational selection activities, and the other on how current school education should be carried out. In this paper, we examine the effects and challenges of learning through work experience programs called "The Learning through Work Experience Program: The 14-Year-Old' Challenge," which is being implemented in Toyama Prefecture and is in transition from the former perspective to the latter. This paper used data collected through the "Survey on Junior High School Students' Outlook on the Future and Job Consciousness," which was conducted by Ochanomizu University in 2006. The analysis showed that the learning through work experience program enhances junior high school students' motivation for learning by providing them with opportunity to gain a variety of experiences. However, from the perspective of how the learning through work experience program effects the vocational selection, the analysis indicated sufficient affects cannot be expected due to the limited range of program activities available, as the program is aimed at junior high school students should be and on what kind of activities are appropriate under this program.
