This competency based curriculum guide is designed to give teachers an insight into the tasks necessary for students to be trained for employment in a photo-offset printing shop. The guide contains 127 task sheets grouped into eight areas: (1) job planning, layout, and design; (2) composition; (3) image assembly; (4) photo conversion; (5) stripping and platemaking; (6) offset presswork, (7) bindery and finishing; and (8) pre-employment and placement. Each task sheet states the task, performance objective, tools and materials needed, student action required, and performance checks to be used. It is noted that the identification of tasks was carried out through research and visitation of related high schools, area vocational centers, colleges, and the printing industry. (LRA)
