\1\ So in original. The colon probably should be a semicolon.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) lack of coordination among guidance and counseling
activities supported jointly or separately by Federal programs and
by State and local programs has resulted in an underutilization of
resources available for such activities; and
(3) increased and improved preparation of education
professionals is needed in guidance and counseling, including
administration of guidance and counseling programs at the State and
local levels, with special emphasis on inservice training which
takes educational professionals into the workplaces of business and
industry, the professions, and other occupational pursuits, and that
increased and improved use of individuals employed in such pursuits
are needed for effective guidance and counseling programs, including
(A) bringing persons employed in such pursuits into schools, and (B)
bringing students into such workplaces for observation of, and
participation in, such pursuits, in order to acquaint the students
with the nature of the work.
