The Conecuh County, Alabama, Experienced Based Career Education (EBCE) project, based on the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL) model, was evaluated for the period of October 1, 1976 to September 30, 1977. Assessment instruments gathered data in the areas of basic skills, career development skills, and life skills from twenty-three EBCE students and fifteen comparison students on a pretest-posttest basis. Parents of EBCE students and employers providing work experiences for students were administered questionnaires. Staff and process data were also collected. It was concluded that EBCE should continue in the Conecuh County school system, and that increases in self attitudes, attitude toward school, attitude toward others, attitude toward education in general, and increases in academic achievement comparable to that of students who participated in the traditional setting are substantial indicative results of the need for the program.
