Abstract	The Career Awareness Program for Bilingual Haitian and Hispanic Students (CAP) in New York City was designed to provide these high school students of limited English proficiency with instruction in English as a Second Language (ESL), native language arts (NLA), and content area subjects taught bilingually. It also was intended to provide students with personal counseling, tutoring, and orientation to American education and culture. The design also included plans for parent outreach activities. The project enrolled 365 students. Of these, 287 were Haitian and 32 spoke Spanish as primary language. For the most part, the project carried out activities proposed in its design. The project met its objectives for guidance and counseling, career conferences, and staff development, but did not meet its objectives for ESL, NLA instruction in Haitian, and attitude toward school. Objectives for staff awareness of pupil needs and problems and for parental involvement could not be evaluated due to lack of data. Recommendations are made for program improvement, especially in English language and NLA, and improved program evaluation. Appendixes discuss data collection and analysis and instructional materials.
