Resulting from the efforts of teacher-coordinators in a 3-week workshop, this study guide was designed to help student-trainees adjust to the many factors of the world of work. Including material useful in a general related class, the study guide is arranged in the following 10 units: (1) Introduction To Cooperative Education, (2) Youth Clubs and Parliamentary Procedure, (3) Human Relations, (4) The Relationship Between Health, Safety, and Labor Laws, (5) Managing Your Personal Finances, (6) Business Organization, (7) Labor-Management, (8) Choosing A Career, (9) Seeking Employment, and (10) State Compensation Fund. Also, the study guide is organized to allow the teacher to use the units in any order he chooses. Assignment sheets are provided for each unit. (JS)
