The American Institutes for Research (AIR) has been involved in the design and development of career education curriculum materials for well over a decade, even before the term was originated by the U.S. Office of Education. This led to the involvement of AIR in the design and development of the Comprehensive Career Education Model (CCEM). Four…

At the end of the first nine months of the American Institutes for Research (AIR) project to revise and field test the Comprehensive Career Education Model (CCEM) curriculum materials, activities are proceeding on four fronts.
