At all stages of educational growth the individual must be aided in an understanding of his strengths and weakness, his aptitudes, abilities, interests, and needs as they relate to occupational choice. The project report suggests that certain broad areas of information be made available at three levels in the elementary schools: (1) K-1-2, (2) 4-5, (3) 6-7-8. Administrative responsibilities are outlined, the teacher's function described, and objectives by grade cluster presented. Guides for the grade cluster programs include goals suggested as well as classroom and community oriented activities. A program, Community Classrooms, utilizing the facilities of four local industries, offers a multifaceted field trip program for the elementary grade levels. Specific steps in developing a unit plan are offered. An appendix includes descriptions of field trips, lists of jobs and their applications to a K-12 program, a 6-page bibliography of elementary level career literature, and a 10-page guide to audiovisual aids.
