This staff development module is part of one of three groups of career guidance modules developed, field tested, and revised by a six-state consortium coordinated by the American Institutes for Research. This module is designed for guidance personnel who work in counseling and guidance, community members representing business and industry, and pre-service graduate students. The goal of this module is to help participants: (1) identify student competencies through analyses of curriculum offerings; (2) prepare alternative learning activities using community resources; and (3) plan a program to assist young adults on their transition from school to work. The module format consists of an overview, goals, objectives, outline, time schedule, glossary, readings, skill development activities, and bibliography. A Coordinator's Guide is also included with detailed instructions for presenting the module in a workshop setting as well as the facilitator's roles and functions, and the criteria used in assessing the participants' achievement of module objectives.
