The summary report is an outgrowth of a 1972 meeting of the National Advisory and Review Committee of the California State Department of Education, Vocational Education Section. The principal intent of the report is to provide project staff and consultants insight into the problems of career development for public service occupations, as well as solutions to those problems. The report is organized around six key issues confronting project implementation to which the Advisory and Review Committee addressed itself: definition of public service, goals of public service curriculum at the secondary level, curriculum content and planning, job category analysis, basis for entry level jobs, and curriculum guidelines concepts. Specific recommendations have been identified to further assist in project management and implementation. An introductory section considers the project's relationship to the U.S. Office of Education thrust in career education. (Author/PR)
