Vocational/Career/Occupational Education at the Middle Level: What Is Appropriate for Young Adolescents?
Overview & Synopsis
Although education for future employment has been a high school function, middle-school educational literature has not endorsed vocational/career/occupational education as a major purpose for early adolescence. An exploratory approach is appropriate to help young adolescents define occupational interests, become aware of changing employability skill demands, and develop sound work attitudes and understandings as a foundation for high school.
