THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS - AUGUST 10.1972 -
Career Awareness Set
To Begin This Fall
Georgians could work toward
finding or changing their
careers from kindergarten to
just short of the grave under
the new program set up in Geor
gia under the title of Career
Awareness.
As this program works out
it will mean that school ch
ildren from kindergarten
through will be in
formed about and made aware
of possible career opportun
ities.
It also means that young ad
ults, people without a current
job and retired people may be
able to return to an educational
institution, perhaps to change
their entire direction in work.
Career Education should not
be confused with Vocational
Education, which is not as br
oad.
Under the Career Education
Program, children entering ki
ndergarten will be exposed to
the World of Work under a
“Career Awareness” program
that would continue through the
sixth grade.
For the purpose of this pro
gram 20,000 jobs have been ar
ranged within 15 job groupings,
each under a general heading,

During the first years of sc

something in two or three gr
oupings that interests him
or her. In grades seven and
eight they will explore those
groupings in depth.

be Interested in the “World
of Construction”, but deciding

engineer or skilled craftsman
would involve more inves

some work experience. Students
planning to work after high
