Written as a guide to aid rural Appalachian high schools in the establishment of a work experience program, this booklet describes the development of a work experience program in six steps and then presents an example of a work experience program developed in Eastern Kentucky by this procedure. The guide also discusses the do's and don'ts of implementing a work experience program and the specific challenges of developing this program in rural Appalachia. (This booklet is one of several focusing on the development of different components of a career education program.) (BM)
