The guide briefly describes the objectives and content of a career awareness course consisting of a nine-week block (approximately 45 sessions) which was offered to all Dickinson Area Vocational High School students during their sophomore year. It gives week by week suggestions for implementing the career awareness program, including seminars, discussions testing devices, films and slides, and individual research projects, and provides as an example a typical detailed lesson plan for a 45-day program. A final synopsis provides assorted suggestions on program development and operation gleaned from the Dickinson experience. Two pages of specific recommendations to ensure the success of career awareness programs are included, as are 20 pages of appended materials relating to the Dickinson program and two pages of suggested resource materials.
