A project was undertaken to improve training for career guidance counselors in Pennsylvania by implementing the recommendations made by counseling personnel who participated in six regional workshops that were held throughout Pennsylvania in 1983-1984. These recommendations were disseminated to various Pennsylvania counselor preparation institutions, area vocational-technical school directors and counselors, and professional organizations for counselors among others. Selected counselor educators, practicing counselors, and counselor training supervisors were invited to participate in one of four counselor preparation/training workshops to design a strategy for implementing the recommendations made at the preceding set of workshops. Two of these workshops were held in King of Prussia, a third was held in Harrisburg, and the fourth was held in Edinboro. Each group of workshop participants formulated an action plan to develop an ongoing counselor preparation and training network for its own particular geographic area. Reaction to the workshops and to the concept of developing a counselor training and preparation network was very positive. It was decided that business, industry, and vocational education personnel should be involved in such networks to provide counselors with an up-to-date view of workplace realities and employment needs. (Appendixes include the workshop agenda, needed program changes and improvements, a discussion of a partnership approach to counselor training based on network collaboration, guidelines for establishing a counselor preparation and training network, designated vocational career competency areas, an evaluation form, a presentation by Niel Carey on the importance of career development as a lifelong process, and the network action plans that were developed.)
