This final report of a 3-year project to introduce career education concepts into the schools of rural southeast Arkansas includes background information, descriptions of program variables, the third-party evaluation, and a followup study in vocational guidance. The report notes that program activities in grades K-7 focused on increasing students' career awareness, in grades 8-9 on career orientation and exploration, and in grades 10-12 on job preparation training, counseling, and referral. The evaluation report found that elementary students significantly increased their awareness of work and self, but little increase in these values was measured for the secondary students. It was recommended that the career education activities be continued and developed further, with special emphasis at the secondary level. Evaluation design summary charts are appended along with a followup study of 1974 and 1975 seniors for possible use in evaluation and revision of the educational programs. (MF)
