Facilitating the Career Development of Home-Based Adults: The Home/Community-Based Career Education Model. Final Report. Volume II. Research and Evaluation.
Guilfoy, Vivian M.; Grothe, Mardell S.
This second volume of a three-volume final report presents research and evaluation findings of a 3-year project to design, develop, and implement a comprehensive delivery system to meet the career-related information, guidance, and referral needs of home-based adults, those 16 and older neither working nor attending school on a full-time basis. Primary focus is on home-based adults who used the career counseling service, which provided information, guidance, and referral by telephone using paraprofessional counselors. Section 2 details the demographic characteristics of 2,979 home-based adults, who called the service (August 1973 to March 1975) and examines the extent to which the nature of the callers changed over time. Section 3 describes characteristics of 1,157 home-based clients who used the service from March 1974 to March 1975 and explores clients' expectation from counseling, initial career objectives, and other factors. Section 4 presents data related to the nature and extent of activities engaged in by counselors and clients during the process of counseling. Section 5 examines the clients' career status at termination. Section 6 describes how clients reacted to and evaluated the services they received from the project. Section 7 deals with use of the resource center based on 268 noninstitutional visitors who used it in 1974. The final section of Volume 2 presents information collected during indepth interviews with 40 former clients. (Volume 1 of the final report covers the nature, context, and products of the model. Volume 3 consists of appendixes to the project.) (TA)
