The module is one of a series of eight developed to provide inservice training to administrators of career education programs. It presents financial program planning as an integral part of the administration of career education. Financial program planning as a concept and basic administration task is defined in this module to include three elements: (1) financial planning, (2) financial programing, and (3) budgeting. The learning objectives of the module are: to become familiar with procedures in financial planning; to become familiar with a financial program for career education; to identify financial and human resources necessary for the support of a total program; and to develop an operational plan for use in a local education agency. Each of the four lessons includes transparencies, task sheets, and handouts. A 32-page section provides lesson-coordinated supplementary readings. (Author/NJ)
