First-year evaluation of the Career Education Plus (CE+) project at Minot High School (North Dakota) was conducted. CE+ is an alternative educational program that provides career education learning opportunities for students in grades 9 and 10. Generalized project objectives were as follows: to provide for competencies in basic skills; to enhance good working habits and work values; to become proficient in decision making, job hunting, and job-getting skills; to explore the world of work; to provide specific training in job entry skills; and to provide for continual guidance activity. Evaluation focused on implementation of the management plan; process assessment of life, basic, and career skills learning; product evaluation of student terminal objective outcomes; and participant perceptions. Pretest and posttest comparisons were used to measure student growth, and traditional experimental and control group comparisons to measure the effect of project participation. Specific behavioral objectives either achieved or partially achieved were in the following areas: improvement in oral communication, writing skills, and basic quantitative skills; satisfactory completion of projects and competencies; development of career knowledge; and career explorations. Objectives not achieved at this point were in the areas of improvement in reading skills, development of self-knowledge, more positive attitude toward work, and higher level of career awareness. Survey results were generally favorable.
