1. The board of directors of each local public school district and the authorities in charge of each nonpublic school shall incorporate into the educational program, in accordance with section 256.7, subsection 21, paragraph “a”, the total concept of career education to enable students to become familiar with the values of a work-oriented society.

b. Exploration of employment opportunities and experience in personal decision making.
c. Experiences which will help students to integrate work values and work skills into their lives.
