Dear Dr. Weagraff:

It gives me great pleasure to submit toli.,ou for your infcirmation and further action the report of the Ad Hoc.Career Guidance AdviiorY Committee which was appointed in November, 1974 by Acting Associate CommissionerDr. John F Majtning, to assist and advise the Division of Occupational Education in the development,of a coMpre-hensive plan for.career guidance in the Commonwealth.

During a series of six meetings bet-weep November 8,1974 and January 24,1975 the CoMmittee reviewed ..

previous efForts, both national and state, to define and,aevelop the concept of career guifiance.The Commisiteeassigned itself the task of distilling from these various sources those concepts that were relevant to the needs ofMassachusetts-and its local educational agencies, and developing a "plan to plan" which the Division could useas the foundation on which to build a comprehensive stoeplan.

The report addresses itself to the Committee's concerns as to the direction that the final planning effortshould take. It includes a statement of basic educational philosophy, a discussion of the broad goals" and objectivesOf career guidance as an integral part of an overall educatidnal program which would serve all age groups, andspecific recommendations on priorities for furtheraction at thestate level. A .

While recognizing the need for the development of a state plan that dill be responsive to local school andcom-munity concerns, the Committee has emphasized the necessity for, strong leadership, including the commitment offunds, by the State Department of Education in bringing together all state and local agencies and orggnizationswhose cooperitive efforts will be needed to design and develop a truly comprehensive plan for career guidance forthe Commonwealth. To this end, the Ad-Hoc Committee has recommended as its first priority the appointment ofa permanent Advisory Committees ith will include broad-based representation from throughout the state to assistand advise you in carrying this v41 planning effort forward.

In submitting this report to you, I wish to express my gratitude to all members of the Ad Hoc AdvisoryCommittee for taking time fitm their busy working schedules to make their individual and colleCtive contributions "to what each of them regards as a very important project. They are confident that you will wish to continue thework that they have begun. , 1 i =

Sincerely yours,

(Charles Brovelli

III, STATEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

*.') I 4, ,./ .,

The Committee was.,unanimous in its belief that career guidance shouldte considered as an integralpart of an overall educational program, and that the goals and objectives of a'tomprehensive career guidanceplan should be developed from a compatible set of basic assumptions for career education from kinder-,garten through adulthood.

To achieve this common base, the Committee adopted as its working statement of educationalphilqsophy the following definition and basic,assumptions of career education as stated in the September1974 policy paper of the U.S. Office of Education. r

Generic Definition' of C reer Education

In a generic sense, t defi ition oftgreer education must_o iously be derived from definitionsassigned the 'vords career an uCation. For purposes of seeking a generic definition for career education,these two words are defined as follows:

Career is the sum total of work put forth by an individual dueng-his or her lifetime.i. -------

Education is the totality df experiences throug eh one learns.

r.----,,...,Based on these two definition's, career educa ton-is definedp.collows:'''.

Career educations the totality of experiences ihrough which one learns about and prepares toengage in work as part of her or his wapf living.

. f. sCareer, as defined here, is a development concept beginning in the very early years and continuing

well into the retirement years. Education, as defined here, obviously includes more than the formal educa-tion system. Thus, this generic definition of career education is purposely intended to be of a very broadand encompassing nature.fithe same time, it is intended to be considerably less than all of life or one'sreasons for living. -

Basic Concept Assumptions of Career Ed tion

Based on the 'generic definition of T. ever education and its rationale as cited above, the career educa-tion movement has embraced a number basic assumptions. These assumptions are based on the followingbeliefs:

1. Since both one's career and oar's education extend from the preschool through the retirementyears, career education must lso span the entire life cycle.

The concept and measurement of productivity for the individual and society are central tothe definition of work and sb to*the entire concept of career education.

a

3. Since work includes unpaid activities as well as paid employment, the concerns of careereducation, in addition to prime emphasis on paipil employment,sextenno the work of thestudent as a learner, to the growing numbers o(volunteer workers. in our Society, to thefull -time homemaker, and to work activities in which one engaged aspart of leisure and/orrecreational time. i

4. The cosmopolitan nature`a today's society demands that career education recognize multi-_ plicity of'work values as a means of helping each individual answer the question "Why should

I work ?"

5. Both one's career, and One's e u lion are best viewed in a developmental rather. than in afragmented sense.

6. Career education is for all pe ons the yciung and the old; the mentally handicapped andthe intellectually gifted; the oor and the wealthy; males and females; students in elementarysc and in college and iversity graduate schools.

The societal objective reer education are to 'help all individuals to: a) want to work;b) acquire the skills nece ary ork in these times; and c) engage in work that is satisfyingto the individual and be eficial to soci

, 8. The individualistic goa s of career education are to work: a) possible; b) useful; andc) satisfying for each individual throughout his or her lifeti

Protection of the i i vidual's freedom to choose, and assistance in makcareer decisions, ar of central concern to career education.

$

and implementing

10. The expertise required for implementing career education is not limited to those employed°in formal ethicationaf settings but is to be found also in ether sectors of society.

'b tCareer education makes no pretense of picturing the a ove assumptions as anything more than the simplebeliefs they represent. Certainly, each is debatable, and none is yet sufficiently accepted so as to be regardedas an educational truism. However, the Committee believes that, taken as a whole, these ten assumptiOnscan be viewed as representing a philosophical base for future career educatiOn and career guidance effort.

IV. THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF CAREER GUIDANCE,Having agreed that a comprehensive plan for carver guidance for.the Commonwealth must be fully

integrated within an overall educational program, the Committee recognized the need tojelate suck ato'Commissioner AnAg's priority:goal of occupational cOmpetence. Furthermore, the Committee agreedthat any career guidance plan which is to be d diideveloped rtild be responsive to both state concerns and '44

. -

local needs.

In order to achieve these broad purposes, the Committee endorsed the statements on the'need for _

and the nature of career guidance as set forth in the joint position paper of the National Vocational Guid-ance Association and the American Vocational Association, as follows.

The NeAd for Cireer Guidance

Today there are many social factors which converge to Stimulate an interest in the career development -needs of persons of all ages, including the search for a set of values which will give meaning and usefulnessto a person's life. Some of the,se are as-follows: ,

.C?

.. . .

--°%

.1.. Growing complexity in the occupational and organizational structure of society whichmakesit difficult for a person to assimilate and organizeIt data necessary to formulatea career. ' ....

2. Ever more rapid technological change demandiig/human adaptability and responsiveness.

/'3. Increasing national concern with the need to develop all human talent regardless of sex,

age, religion or ethnic origin.

4. The need for specialized training to obtain entry level jobs.

5. The apparent disenchantment expressed by students who hive difficulty relating theireducation to theirlives.

Each of these social factors impinges on the individuIl in'ways that make achieving self-fulfillmentmore difficult.

In the past, some managerial persohnel in business and industty-haye held a non-careerism attitudewhich viewed the typical job as an isolatedtventIn a person's life. Whether this attitude is tenable in thepOst-iridustrial period is seriously questioned today. The evolving view is that a job shouldbe consideredastage in an integrated, life-long career a step on a career lattice which involves both horizontal and..vertical dimensions. On the horizontal level, it involves patterns of chcke at one point in time, such as:"Should_Lcombine employment withstudy ?" "Should I engage in volunteer work along with my employ-merit?" Vertically, it inVolves choices along a time line, such as: "Nov do my options orbehavior at this`point relate to my,options or behavior in the near, intermediate, and distant future?" As new questionsare raised about the opportunities 'work prOvides for learning and self-development, the' need for expandedprograms of career guidance beconles apparent.

The Natwe of ,Career` Guidance.

The nature of guidance for career development cannot be viewed as estatic, tradition based set ofrelated services that indiviguals in making simple occupational choices. The content of any careerguidance program must be developed from initial assessment of the present and future career developmentneeds of the individual; it must-also aCcount for impinging environmdntal factors that could affect thedevelopment and fulfillment of,scareer expectations. Career guidance content can be organized in many `.ways to facilitate the individual's development. Whatever its form, the Program ultimately shouleencouragethe individual to assume responibility for his or ker,own Career development.

A career guidancerogram shoal assist the individual to assimilate and tritegrate knoWledge, exper-ience and appreciations related to the following career development efforts:

e appointment ofj Career Guidance SpecialiSt in each of the. six regional offices of theDepartment. The function of the Career Guidance Specialist will tie to serve a a resourceperson for local educational agencies within the region and to provide them with technicalassistance in-planning, developing; implementing and evaluating local career guidanceprograms. (The Committee was aware that these positions hive been authorized and thatfunds to hire these personnel have been included in the FY1976 budget of the Division ofOccupational Education. The Committee recommended that the recruitment, trainingandtlacement of these personnel be expedited.)

3. The funding and development of in-service training proOrrls fore.e tlie retraining of currentschool personnel in the principles and practiCes of careet.developinent and career guidance.Such in-service training should be provided to school.administrators and teachers in additionto guidance personnel in order to expand and maximize all available resources for theimplementation of a comprehensive career guidance system.

. .

4. The collection, cataloging and dissemination of up-to-date information and materials retatingto career development and career guidance, and the development and staffing of regional andlocal Career Resource Centers through which these informational materials will be madeavailable to students and community residents. While the final decision on the establishmentof a lotal Career Resource Center was seen as a local planning option, the Committee urgedthat the Department of Education should strongly encourage the creation of such centersby local educational agencie%by providing techgicalessistance and, where necessary, fundingto cover start-Up costs. (The Committee noted that the. Commonwealth, through theExecutive Office of Manpower Affairs, was in the process of seeking funding from the U.S.Department of Labor for the development of an interactive computer-based OccupationalInformation System. If such a system were to be developed in the state, it would providea valuable fool for use in regional and local Career Resource Centers.)

5. A thorongh re-exaMinatioirof the roles and responsibilities of gdida'nce personnel in acomprehensive career guidance system. This would entail an exploration of the, differentia-tion of staff functions iiralLeffort to relieVe-trgessional guidance persOnnel of some oftheir current non-professional risi4Sib_ilities (salras.scheduling, information gatheringand dissemination, record-keeping, which could be performed by parapro-fessional or clerical staff, and thus make trill:1'6'44p slopl guidance counselors moreavailable th'promote and implement Career guidon t;24efiiitiejs for students and staff. There-examination of the role of professional guidance persontfeffould lead to the identifica-tion of the need for administrative and/or legislative action in changing the criteria for thetraining and certification of guidance counselors and support staft.---

6. As an outgrowth of the effort in "(5) above, the development of new, alternative curriculafor the pre-service training of professional and paraprofeSsional guidance and teachingpersonnel. This effort could best be carried out by curriculum specialists and the facultyof training institutions (public and private), but the responsibility for leadership in thismovement should' est with the Department of Education.

and that these resources be re llocated to the extent possible in order to eliminate any existing duplicationof effort and to coordinate al1 current activities in such a way as to incorporate them into a future compre-hensive Statewide system.

VI. THE NEED FOR FURTHER PLANNINGr

"1'

The report of the Committee, as stated above, constitutes a plan to plan which would providethe foundation upon which a,comprehensive plan for career guidance for the Commonwealth might bebuilt. 'The development of an actual plan remains to be undertaken. The Committee, however, hasattempted in this report to provide some of the guideposts that could lead the way in that-future effort.By its voluntary contribution of this initial blueprint, the Committee has demonstrated' that the humanresources and expertise are available to the Department of Education for carrying the effort forward andfor translating ideas into action.

Given the mature economy of Massachusetts and the problem of chronic unemployment in the state,the effort to link the Commonwealth's educational system more closely to the world of work is long over-due. The need for further planning to achie,ve this goal as soon as possible is urgent. Such an effort willrequire 'the goodwill and the cooperation of all human service agencies within the state in conjunc-.tion with business and labor, and the, Department of Education cannot be held responsible for contributing,any more than its share of the necessary task. However, the Committee was in agreement that the Depart-ment should provide the leadership in initiating the further cooperative planning that will be necessary ifall current and future residents of the Commonwealth are to have the benefits ofa comprehenOve careereducation, career development and career guidance system.
