Lincoln Career Education Project. Final Report. Book 5. Placement Model.
Lincoln Public Schools, NE.
Description of the placement component of the Lincoln Career Education Project is contained in this report, covering the period of 1973-1976. Objectives, procedures followed, and project results and accomplishments are reported in detail. Results of the project included the establishment and refinement of the general concept of career education among local school and central office staff, establishment and operation of a community resource system, development and pilot testing of a model placement service for exiting seniors, and provision of placement services to several hundred exiting seniors during the 3-year period. Evaluation indicated that 62% of the students who left school after the second and third quarters of the 1975-1976 school year requested help in locating employment. All students who requested assistance were eventually placed in jobs. Results of followup studies indicated that two-thirds were still employed. Placement activities were supported by the community resource system established to identify, analyze, and catalog community resources and make the information available to all school staff. It is recommended that in order for placement services to be effective, students need a well developed set of knowledges, skills, and attitudes, which should be built up over a period of years through a comprehensive and continuing career development program carried on in the guidance program and through regular instructional program. Appendixes, the bulk of the report, contain forms and materials developed and used, resource materials for career development, and the revised community resource catalog. (TA)
