A Career Development Program in Agricultural Occupations for Advantaged and Less Advantaged Rural Youth.
Lark, Floyd J.; And Others
This document provides a summary of the results of the effort begun in the fall of 1971 by the Agricultural Education Department of Oklahoma State University to organize a career development program for advantaged and less advantaged rural youth. It was designed to increase the awareness of rural youth to career opportunities, to their own abilities, interests and other characteristics in relation to careers, and to the decision-making process leading to the choice of a career. A summary of the program is outlined in terms of general unit development, specific occupation unit development, and the development of self-discovery and decision-making units. Related publications are listed. Appendixes comprise three fourths of the document and include the self-discovery unit, the agricultural occupations cluster units (agricultural supplies/services), and a unit for a specific occupation within the agricultural supplies/services unit (agricultural sales clerk).
