Book Description
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a course of study developed at the University of Washington to provide a career education class at the beginning of the high school experience for special education students who are mildly handicapped in Tacoma Public Schools. The problem was to determine the change in career and vocational interests in students resulting from interaction between the student and a curriculum Implemented in the career education class. The treatment for the study was a career education program involving eighteen weeks of instruction. This program was designed to teach mildly handicapped students, grades 10-12 to use personal effectiveness techniques and activities to improve their self-esteem and behavioral control. Vocational assessment can assist in learning vocation strength/weaknesses and better understand job tasks common to occupational clusters. Through training in job seeking and retention, students should gain confidence in approaching employers requesting work for which they are qualified given their performance during work sampling. The Career Assessment Inventory was used to determine the subjects' interest relative to the Administrative Indices and General Theme scores provided by the test. The design for the study utilized a multivariate repeated measures design. The treatment was a career education program. T-Tests on four administrative subscales and General Theme scales will be taken as clusters for two multivariate repeated measures analysis to calculate differences in the pretest-posttest. Based on the results of the data using a multivariate repeated measures analysis, there appeared to be little evidence that the treatment had a significant effect on student's mean scores for the four (4) Administrative Indices or the six (6) General Theme scales. It can be concluded that the interaction of the students with the treatment does not influence a significant change in students' measured interests.

Book Description
Former First Lady, Michelle Obama believes that every individual should have some type of postsecondary education or training beyond high school to achieve economic and personal success (Reach Higher Initiative, Better Make Room, 2019). Educational attainment (e.g., a high school diploma, college degree, or postsecondary training) provides career opportunities for advancement into leadership positions and benefits such as health insurance and retirement (Heckman, 2000). Additionally, an individual with a college degree can make over one million dollars more over a lifetime in salary than someone with a high school diploma (Carnevale, Cheah, & Hanson, 2015). Acquiring a college degree can lead to employment opportunities and is considered an asset in the U.S. economy (Washington, 2010). However, certain populations encounter barriers to attaining an education, particularly a postsecondary education, leading to a disparity in receiving the aforementioned benefits. Some of these populations include African American students, LGBTQ students, and students with disabilities. There is a dearth of information and research on providing guidance on implementation, research, and best practices in equity-based career development, college readiness, and successful postsecondary transitions for minoritized, at risk, or vulnerable populations. The editors of this volume invited authors with research and practice expertise around various student populations in preparing them for college and career readiness as well as postsecondary transitions. This book is the first of its kind to discuss career development and postsecondary transitions from an access and equity perspective. Further, this text serves as a call to action to ensure the United States’ most vulnerable populations has an opportunity to successfully transition into multiple postsecondary options after high school.
