The first chapter of the literature review describes the Career Intern Program (CIP), a cooperative career education venture of the Opportunities Industrialization Centers of America and two Philadelphia high schools, which is composed of three steps: career awareness (general orientation, development, motivation); career exploration (academic instruction, career expectation instruction, hands on work experiences); and career specialization (on-the-job training, technical schools, community college). Chapter 2 describes the identification of the potential dropout with respect to the following factors: the verbal deficit, the individual student's personality, environmental factors, and student self-concepts. The remaining two chapters review the literature of career education programs similar to CIP throughout the rest of the U.S. Chapter 3 surveys primary prevention programs and deals separately with: programs to change the schools themselves, targeted educational programs, remedial educational programs, vocational educational programs, counseling programs, and work study programs. Chapter 4 surveys rehabilitation programs, and deals separately with: continuation education, rehabilitating the dropout, and rehabilitating the juvenile delinquent. (JR)
