Career Education Implementation Mode for Postsecondary Institutions. Bulletin 1980, No. 38.

Overview & Synopsis

Developed for personnel in postsecondary institutions throughout Alabama, this implementation mode is intended to provide a stimulus for infusing career education activities and goals into each department and area of study. It begins with a matrix showing the goals of career education. An explanation follows of the seven goals (self-awareness, educational awareness, career awareness, economic awareness, decision making, skills and competencies, and attitudes and appreciations), objectives, and expected outcomes. Discussion centers on developing objectives for implementation of career education at the postsecondary level and of program articulation between and among the area vocational centers, technical colleges and institutes, junior colleges, and institutions of higher education in Alabama. Eight suggestions are made by which institutions can contribute to the fulfillment of the State Plan for Career Education. A career education evaluation form for postsecondary personnel is appended.
