Based on interviews and document analysis, an evaluation of Year 4 of the Capital Area Education and Careers Partnership (CAECP) assessed its initiatives to help youth and young adults advance their educational and workplace achievements in pursuit of satisfying, productive careers. CAECP improved school-based learning activity objectives by providing career information materials and software; expanding the speaker roster; encouraging use of Individual Academic Career Plans; and promoting credit articulation, curriculum development, academic credit for summer internships, and work-based experience evaluation. CAECP surpassed performance targets for most work-based learning activity objectives, including the following: grade 7 career awareness program; job-shadowing; work-based student and teacher learning experiences; and employer participation. It met many key connecting activity objectives, including developing linkages between institutions and curricula and increasing and improving teachers' professional development opportunities and employer participation. CAECP failed in these important areas: "for credit" student internship and modes of employer engagement. Recommendations include the following: continue to challenge the divide between academic core/college orientations and career and technology tracking; develop a performance management and measurement system; expand educator professional development opportunities; continue employer engagement strategies; expand the student summer internship program; and promote strategies to help recruit skilled instructors.
