The information presented in this document is intended to guide career educators who wish to tap CETA (Comprehensive Education and Training Act) funds to help support career education endeavors for inschool youth, especially since the 1977 additions from the Youth Employment and Demonstration Project Act (YEDPA) have given CETA a more significant role with the inschool population. The author first traces the role of youth in pre-CETA manpower programs and in CETA programs to 1977. The relative effectiveness of CETA program strategies over the past fifteen years is then summarized and includes a discussion of ineffective program strategies, programs and services of demonstrated effectiveness, strategies that appear to work best for certain target groups, and administration practices and related factors which influence success. Next the options available for serving inschool youth under the 1977-78 laws and practices are delineated and a discussion focusing on CETA/Career Education interface is presented. Finally, recommendations are offered for linking career education to current youth employment policies for the enrichment of both. (BM)
