This qualitative study explores career counseling and guidance services as provided to students engaged in career and technical education programs at three sites in the United States. The sites, consisting of high schools and community colleges, were part of the National Research Center for Career and Technical Education's 5-year studies of programs of study and were identified as providing highly implemented programs of study.

However, the most comprehensive services were provided in settings where school counseling programs were highly developed and supported.read more
