The Experience-Based Career Education (EBCE) program was designed to provide on-site vocational experiences for high school youth in order to promote: (1) career development skills and knowledge; (2) self-knowledge--interests, abilities, and values; (3) reading skills; (4) problem solving skills; (5) oral communication; (6) writing skills; (7) interpersonal skills; (8) basic quantitative skills; and (9) maturation skills. The problems of coordinating the goals and activities of national, regional, state, and local organizations involved in the EBCE program were analyzed separately for each of the four local EBCE sites. These problems included the task of enlisting the support of private employers, developing a permanent autonomous local Advisory Council, establishing learning centers, and coordinating the program with the local public school system. The approaches used in the interorganizational analysis are described: the employer-based approach, the curriculum development emphasis, the school system-proof model, and the school system incorporation model.
