| ABSTRACT
Career
development services from exploration to
specialization
in a school-based context can be enhanced greatly through a partial or
intensive technological delivery system. Specialization contains
both
awareness and exploration, as well as concentration within it. Awareness
and exploration for specialization with concentration refines career choices
to pursue. Early specialization could consist of concentrations of developmentally
appropriate learning units within career cluster ranges. Advanced specialization
could consist of concentrations in roles within a
career
cluster range. It should include analysis of competencies and skills required
by companies for domestic and international commerce in electronic formats.
Knowledge management at the postsecondary education level and articulation
with secondary specializations are the next steps. Creating a conceptual
framework for organizing knowledge management content requires collaborative
strategic thinking. The content could be organized into knowledge management
core competencies and requirements; economy sector
"learning
units"; and specializations with concentrations. (Relevant Web sites, newsletters,
and bulletin board pages are described.) (YLB)
