Career Education for Persons in Rural Areas--Primary Focus on Adults 16 and Over. Final Report.
Paulsen, Russell
Based on stated 3-year (1973-1976) project goals, career education activities were provided to the identified adult population (unemployed, underemployed, mid-career, high school dropouts, parents, and women) in rural areas of the North Central Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education District of Wisconsin. Project activities included classes, group sessions, counseling, career materials displays, tours, testing, and informational meetings. In addition, a materials resource center was developed, an inservice program was conducted, and dissemination and public relations activities were carried out. A third party evaluation was made of a selected school population in grades 3, 6, 9, and 12 and a variety of assessment instruments and survey forms were administered to the different participant groups. Some concluding results were these: Many project activities were found helpful; inservice programs assisted schools to expand career education; group meetings, workshops, and credit classes were the most successful inservice methods; and the last year brought some success in reaching disadvantaged groups. A major portion of the report (402 pages) consists of appended material, including public relations and dissemination records and samples, samples of inservice programs, sample adult career education programs, lists of career education materials, evaluation instruments, and the third party report.
