Abstract	The report details the goals and objectives, activities, accomplishments, and results of a 3-year effort to establish a school-based career education program for students in grades 5-12 of the Oklahoma City Public School District. Major results include: (1) involvement of all fifth grade students, their teachers, and professional staff with career awareness through the use of field trips, resource speakers, and television programs; (2) expansion of exploration programs to a total of 40, serving 7,000 students; (3) expansion of new vocational/prevocational programs to serve 850 students; and (4) placement or referral of over 555 dropouts or potential dropouts into jobs, training programs, back in school, or to other agencies. A third party evaluation report by a team from Central State University (Edmond, Oklahoma) is included in the document. (Evaluation procedures included onsite visits, interviews with students, staff, and resource personnel, and analysis of records.) Based on evaluation findings, conclusions are reported for each of the 79 specific project objectives. It is recommended that the Oklahoma City school administration provide personnel for continued coordination of the career education programs. Appendixes include the survey instruments and various project forms. (RG)
