Planning, implementation, and demonstration/dissemination phases of the CIOEDC (Comprehensive Illinois Occupational Education Demonstration Center) project, Site A, Joliet, Illinois from February 15, 1974 to June 30, 1976, are included in this report. (The principle objectives of the project were to bridge the gap between the theoretical and developmental findings of activities sponsored by the Illinois State Division of Vocational and Technical Education (DVTE) and actual implementation of those findings into two K-14 sites; to implement into two sites in Illinois selected research, curriculum, developmental, special, and exemplary activities; to provide an opportunity for a variety of persons, i.e., counselors, administrators, labor and business representatives, to receive information and visit a demonstration center designed to exemplify proven learning techniques in career and vocational education; to identify the appropriate and practical courses of action that must be taken to ensure successful implementation of future research, development, curriculum, special, and exemplary activities, and to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the demonstration centers.) Major project results and accomplishments are summarized for each of the 15 exemplary activities implemented in Joliet. Other aspects of the project discussed are the manpower/workforce survey, staff development, dissemination and demonstration (17 pages), and evaluation procedures. The conclusions indicate that interest, enthusiasm, support, and involvement for career and occupational education have increased as documented by local and the third-party evaluations. Appendixes contain the manpower survey instrument, conference materials, publicity materials, and newsletters. (TA)
