The miniconferences described involved practitioners from community and junior colleges, nonpublic colleges and universities, teacher education institutions (two conferences), armed forces, adult/recurrent/continuing education, postsecondary vocational-technical institutions, State colleges and State universities (two conferences), and community education. Each miniconference is described in terms of postsecondary area, participants, issues raised by participants, and discussion of issues in dialogue form. Conclusions reached concerning the following overall major issues are also discussed: Defining career education for the postsecondary institution, implementing career education--approaches and/or the faculty role, faculty resistance to career education--incentives and training needed, and community resources--implications for career education. A roster of conference participants is included, along with profiles of their respective projects/programs. The profiles comprise a major portion of this document (100 pages).
