1976 Report on the Career Education Effort in Iowa.
Iowa State Career Education Advisory Council, Des Moines.
Focusing on the views and opinions of Iowa's young adults on the status of their career education, this report synthesizes the results of a one-day public hearing (working conference) in which eighty-seven high school, community college, and university students from across the state were asked to write their observations and recommendations to the question: How responsive are schools to students' needs for (1) guidance services, (2) vocational skill development, (3) personal development, and (4) preparation for civic responsibility. A brief description of procedures outlines the method for selecting members of twelve different vocational youth organizations and other groups to represent approximately 200,000 high school and 38,000 area community college students in the state. A separate section of the report is devoted to each of the four needs areas. Each section lists student observations and recommendations, advisory council analysis of those responses in light of research data and other considerations, and concluding recommendations. Discussion guidelines and student speeches are appended. (JT)
