Description Career Education Responsive to Every Student (CERES) is a comprehensive career education infusion program for grades K-12. The program purpose is to provide students with the basic academic and employability skills necessary for competent, productive performance both in school and after leaving school. The program is tailored to the developmental ages of students at the different grade levels. The objectives are that students will: (1) identify and practice responsible work habits, (2) acquire knowledge of diverse occupations (training preparation and job duties), and (3) apply basic skills to career decisions and actions (job-seeking and job-retention).
CERES enhances instructional time and makes education more efficient. CERES prepares students for the employment trend of the future. CERES is easy to use. The materials are self-contained and do not require extensive supplementary resources. They are flexible and may be used by any teacher, with students of various abilities and at various levels, ranging from an individual classroom or school to district-wide use.
CERES includes systematic, institutional management procedures to enhance and strengthen the involvement of local business and community groups.
CERES is a low-cost program to implement. Training costs include training materials ($10 per workshop participant), consultant fee ($600 per day), and presenter travel and per diem expenses. Program implementation (instructional, management, and evaluation) materials are available at cost. CERES materials are appropriate for all students including special education and at-risk youth. Local Educational Agencies should provide release time for training.
