Detailed operational guidelines, training objectives, and learning activities are provided for the Los Angeles Community College District's Skill Training Improvement Programs (STIP II), which are designed to train students for immediate employment. The first of four reports covers Los Angeles Southwest College's computer programming trainee program, providing a plan for instructional methods, evaluation procedures, learning activities, specific training objectives, a Student Occupational Advisory Group (SOAG), and record keeping. The second report offers guidelines for Los Angeles Trade-Technical College's automatic vending machine, electronics, machine operator, and welding programs. While the bulk of this section outlines the training objectives, learning activities, and instructional materials used for each of these occupations, information is also provided on instructor certification, diagnostic testing, training goals, lesson plans, student evaluation, record keeping, coordination of staff, student stipends, and the internal monitoring and data collection required under the college's contract for Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) funds. The final two activity plans are for Los Angeles Valley College's computer and machine operations programs, detailing procedures for student diagnosis and evaluation, training objectives and activities, books and supplies, SOAG role, and record keeping.
