Description, data, and conclusions are presented for a 3-year career education project in the Great Falls Public Schools (Montana) which focused on the systematic development of components which would be transportable and operationally effective. Major developmental emphases of the project are noted and include staff training, curriculum revision and guides, identification, acquisition and distribution of appropriate instructional resources, career information centers, a community resource center, and coordination of services to provide for various forms of work experience. Achievements of the project in each major goal area are summarized. Conclusions presented indicate that as a result of the project, career education has become a significant facet of public school programs in the school district and has had an important role in enhancing educational processes. Appendix A contains the 1975-76 evaluation design and the forms used. Appendix B contains an action inventory, and appendix C contains edited interim reports for 1973-74 and 1975-76. (TA)
