The Manpower and Economic Education Program (MEE) is an occupational orientation course at the secondary level. Experiences in implementing MEE are discussed. The strategy used involves doing everything possible to promote programs that help youngsters prepare for effective participation in the manpower market. School districts are encouraged to develop occupational orientation programs. The three key words in this strategy are communicate, cooperate, and coordinate. It must include a delivery system providing results similar to those indicated in promotional activities. Schools must be provided with a complete package of materials and services, including, text, teaching manual, evaluation instruments, personnel, etc. Television lessons have also been developed. Training the personnel is one of the most valuable services provided.
