Abstract	The Allen County Team for Individualized Occupational Needs (ACTION) Project is a cooperative career education project developed by three rural Kansas school districts and their communities. The participating high schools have enrollments of 500, 400, and 200 students. The ACTION Project is designed to provide quality career education through a shared approach which eliminates duplication of expensive staff, curriculum, and equipment. Three portable trailers (each a specially equipped classroom laboratory for either industrial and technical, business, or service career education) rotate among the districts; the laboratory instructor for each component moves with the classroom. Each student spends one-third of the course in each of the career areas. In addition to the one-hour-per-day class, directed at students at all high school levels, ACTION merges the career education concept with existing curriculum in other courses through teacher workshops. Four advisory committees include teachers, students, business and industry representatives, and a citizen council. Community resources are used both through talks to classes by local citizens and student field trips and interviews. In its second year (1973-74), ACTION has received positive community and student evaluation. (RS)
