Abstract | The geographic area served included five counties in northeastern Oklahoma. Needs and interests of students enrolled in adult basic education courses were assessed by questionnaire. Counselor interviews with interested students followed, which focused on job requirements and qualifications, preparations, and training. Guest lecturers--vocational-technical personnel, business leaders, and community action representatives--also participated. A follow-up evaluation instrument was sent to determine student progress in seeking further training or employment. (The follow-up procedure is detailed in the report, and the results of the survey are analyzed.) The results indicated that 59% had taken the first step in pursuing career development, the major goal of the report. Among the conclusions were the findings that most students had no concept of the occupational and training opportunities available. It was also found that students adopted a more realistic approach to seeking short term goals when knowledge of job qualifications was acquired. Both the initial needs assessment and evaluation questionnaire are included. (WL) |
