More than 100 school districts participated in this three-year career education program. On a statewide basis, two major objectives were to be accomplished: (1) Help all public and private schools in South Dakota implement career education programs, and (2) provide every student an opportunity to develop self awareness, a favorable attitude toward work, and to develop and practice decision making skills. The project was designed to serve the K-14 student enrollment; in addition, the project worked with post-secondary vocational-technical schools in the area of placement. There were five major components in the project: Guidance and counseling, elementary career awareness, junior high-middle school, job preparation (Grades 10-14), and placement activities. In-service seminars for counselors were conducted and follow-up sessions were held with participating schools after in-service sessions had been completed with time allowed for the schools to begin implementation. Program evaluation focused only on student outcomes, while more direct facets of the program received wide support throughout the state. It was concluded that the direction of career education in South Dakota has been established at all levels of education and that certain phases of the project had an identifiable student impact. (TA)
