Implementation activities for a one-year period are reported for the East Shore Career Education Center (ESCEC), designed to implement a continuous career education program for grades K-12 in the communities of Branford, North Branford, East Haven, and Guilford (Connecticut). Goals and objectives of the project included the following: to provide a career resources center as the focal point of career activities; to assist elementary and middle-school teachers in infusing career education concepts, techniques, and activities into the existing curriculums; to provide career awareness and exploratory activities for middle-school students; to provide career exploratory activities and experiences for high school students; to provide shared career preparation activities (vocational training) supplemental to existing programs based on sharing local facilities and resources; and to plan and develop K-12 career education programs and services for special needs (handicapped) students. Specific areas such as the development of shared vocational training courses and the provision of student services took priority over other goals and objectives. Some of the conclusions/recommendations made concerning ESCEC's first year were (1) meetings with local school principals and key coordinating personnel in local school districts enabled ESCEC to provide several districts with comprehensive inservice coverage of their staffs, (2) efforts should be made to follow in-school career information programs with shared in-depth career information programs on specific areas of students' interests, and (3) ESCEC is well into the process of developing a unique model for career education for the state of Connecticut.
