Placement Component, Lincoln Career Education Project. Final Report. March, 1973-June, 1976.
Novak, Carl D.; And Others
The goal of the placement component of the 3-year Lincoln Career Education Project, Nebraska, was to establish placement services for youth of participating project schools. "Placement" referred not only to helping exiting senior high youth find employment, but also to developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes which lead to location of and placement in an appropriate job. Focus in the final year was on refining the exiting placement program model for high school seniors. Overall project results and accomplishments were these: Established and refined the general concept of career education among local school and central office staff, established and operated a community resource system, developed and pilot tested a model placement service for exiting seniors, and provided placement service to several hundred exiting seniors during the 3-year period. Evaluation and conclusions indicate that project components such as the community resource system and placement service were effective and useful. It is suggested that in order for placement services to be effective a set of knowledges, skills, and attitudes should be built up over a period of years through a comprehensive and continuing career development program as well as through the regular instructional program. Description of the placement component, the conceptual model in chart form, and operational steps are included. Forms and materials developed and used in this component are contained in Appendix A. Appendix B contains the revised community resource catalog. (TA)
