Initial research conducted by the Colorado River Indian Tribes Rehabilitation Center revealed that lack of career information available to Indian youth, lack of Indian student direction and motivation, and resultant low academic achievement inadequately prepared these students for the world of work. Consequently, a new program (involving seminars, field trips, individual and group counseling, and followup counseling) for the provision and dissemination of career information was designed which included eight specific objectives. To test the effectiveness of the program objectives, a research design was established which used one treatment group and six control groups (composed of Indian and non-Indian youth) matched according to grade, sex, age, I.Q., and achievement. Highlights of significant findings are these: (1) There was increased awareness of services offered by the Colorado River Indian Tribes and of how school problems may be related to cultural factors, and a general impression that Indian students' attitudes toward school were much improved; (2) a significant reduction in school dropouts; (3) significant improvement in vocational awareness; (4) increased motivation toward future vocational opportunities; (5) reduced contacts with the law; (6) increased awareness of future employers; and (7) exposure to successfully employed Indians and Tribal members.
