| Summary: | With special attention to meeting the needs of migrant students who are characterized by high mobility and a high dropout rate, this digest presents an overview of career education counseling and provides guidance to assist teachers, counselors, and administrators in incorporating such counseling into their curricula. The three major career education counseling elements of career exposure, work preparation, and basic skills development are described. The three strands of career exposure are discussed: self-awareness activities, providing job and role information, and decision-making/goal-attaining activities. Through written information, interview, and job site involvement, work preparation is described as providing students with practical experience and job option awareness. Several programs which provide basic skills to youth who have left school prior to graduation (e.g., Adult Basic Education and General Equivalency Diploma) are reviewed. Grades at which the different elements should be implemented and how career education counseling is different for migrant youth are described. Discussions regarding community involvement, counselor responsibility, the incorporation of counseling elements into different curricula and existing programs, and a list of five existing migrant career education counseling programs conclude the document.
