Abstract	Evaluation was made of the first year of a project to expand and improve existing career education program components in Great Falls (Montana) public schools using Experience Based Career Education (EBCE). Six major goals in developing procedures leading to full implementation of EBCE strategies addressed were data based implementation, improvement strategies, guidance and career decision making, placement and follow-up, basic skills, and management. Evaluation data were obtained from three standardized tests, several locally developed instruments, and numerous elements of record data. Major evaluation findings included the following: New offerings in vocational education and cooperative work experience were added to the curriculum; a Work Experience and Career Education Program (WECEP) was adapted and tested; decision criteria were established for adapting EBCE strategies for use within the district and successfully used in developing a new career exploration course; definitive baselines were established for assessing future project effects; and the project successfully explored several new areas for continued activity such as the Executive Internship and the Guidance Information System.
