A two-part project was conducted in Indiana to enable school counselors and university counselor educators to become better informed about vocational education as it relates to comprehensive career guidance programing. One part involved a year-long staff development program for counselors from feeder schools for area vocational schools and culminated in a 2-week hands-on work experience in a business or industry. Fourteen counselors from each of two vocational districts took part regularly in the staff development program. During this phase a model for inservice programing was developed. The other part involved counselor educators and their graduate students in two intensive workshops which focused on experience in vocational classes and on activities for new directions in the counselor education program. Both components utilized similar content and experiences and provided for participant evaluation. Interface between the counselors and counselor educators was arranged throughout the year. Project outcomes focused on the need for professional counselors to resolve conflicts centering on pragmatic concerns and idealistic notions, commenting that the professional counselor needs to resolve ambiguities and become an effective human being as a model for the services that are being offered for the good of others. Appended are an inservice professional development model for school counselors and other material related to the project. (LMS)
