Project Outreach, the opinion research division of the Michigan State Board of Education, conducted a study on the current status of career guidance in Michigan public schools, using in-depth telephone interviews with career guidance professionals (N=445) in November and December of 1989. The interview questionnaire, developed with the advice of counselors, career guidance administrators, and teacher training educators, covered a wide range of topics pertaining to career guidance programs: their components and organization; extent of approval by local school boards; categories of students provided with services; starting points for career guidance activities; use of the Employability Development Plan by career guidance professionals; extent of career resource center; assistance provided to parents; strengths and weaknesses of programs; role of professionals in budgeting for career guidance; use of advisory committees; the need for support from the Michigan Department of Education; student preparation and career opportunities; use of the Michigan Occupational Information System; services for students at risk and disabled students; self esteem problems and career decision making; role of job placement in career guidance; use of tests; use of support staff; and extent and content of career education classes in Michigan. This document presents findings from the Project Outreach study. Respondents are categorized by school district locale: urban, suburban, small town, and rural.
