Third-year activities of a career education project in a three-county, non-urban area of Missouri are evaluated. The report describes the use of the Career Maturity Inventory (administered to a random sample of ninth and twelfth grade participants) and the Self-Observation Scale (administered to a sample of sixth grade participants and nonparticipants) to assess the student level impacts of the project. Findings are presented as student outcome data, placement and followup data, and project expenditure data. Twelfth grade students significantly increased their scores from pretest to posttest on the CMI measure of career planning. Ninth grade participants showed a significant gain in the area of career-related self-appraisal. No evidence of impact was found at the sixth grade level. Followup survey data indicated some success for the project objective of articulating secondary education with postsecondary education and employment. (NJ)
