This curriculum guide, developed by a project committee of administrators, supervisors, instructors, and a counselor in the areas of industrial and vocational education, contains three extensive 12-week laboratory units at the junior high school level covering careers in the occupational clusters of business education, home economics, and industrial education. Funded under the Vocational Education Amendments of 1968, this course is intended to provide an overview of career opportunities, techniques for self-appraisal, and help in choosing courses leading to the students' occupational goals. In a 2-column format, teaching procedures are correlated with resource lists of transparencies and student handouts included with each unit. A course rationale, appended student worksheets, time allotments, and detailed behavioral objectives are provided. Final evaluation questions are given for each unit. (AG)
