Abstract	An evaluation of the Career Alternatives Model (CAM) program in the Highline School District, Washington, assessed the impact of four key components: (1) the film series "Bread and Butterflies" (for grades 4-6), designed to increase acceptance of responsibility for future career development and to increase maturity in career decision making; (2) a Work Samples Laboratory (grades 7-9) engaging students in activities associated with a variety of jobs at all skill levels; (3) Computer Guidance (grades 10-12)--a reanalysis of data from the previous year's evaluation; and (4) Career Information Centers (grades 10-12) in which a full-time vocational information specialist in each high school coordinated a variety of career education activities. Supplementary data was gathered through a faculty survey regarding knowledge, use, and evaluation of Career Information Center services. The evaluation of "Bread and Butterflies" did not show significant differences between treatment and control groups; however, positive significant differences resulted from the Work Samples Laboratory, Computer Guidance, and Career Information Centers experiences. The faculty survey indicated that the majority of faculty (61.5%) felt that attention to student career concerns increased.
