Abstract	This federally funded pilot project, developed and implemented in five Maine high schools during the 1971 academic year, was intended to provide 100 girls in Grades 10 and 11 with an orientation to vocational fields that are predominantly occupied by men and to utilize paraprofessional student help, prepared by inservice training, to provide occupational guidance in areas usually restricted to men. As a state model for a career education program, this project involved preliminary planning by school counselors and administrators, the development and administration of a vocational interest survey to 900 girls in Grades 10 and 11, selection of 20 girls from each high school for training as guidance aides, a 1-day seminar with women as resource speakers, pre- and post-testing of career knowledge, and an independent final evaluation. The ten occupational areas selected from the results of the vocational interest survey were: (1) veterinarian, (2) communications, (3) counseling, (4) military, (5) recreation director, (6) bookkeeping and accounting, (7) computer programer, (8) police, (9) lawyer, and (10) forest service. Recommendations for demonstration projects along similar lines are presented. Program materials are included, such as articles and letters relating to project dissemination. This document is related to VT 019 339, available in this issue. (AG)
