As a part of a project that was to develop a system for defining vocational education curriculum and services necessary to train students for new and emerging manpower needs and job opportuntites, this report describes seven new and emerging occupations. The occupations included represent those which have met the project criteria for "new and emerging" and for which there is believed to be no complete curriculum at the secondary or postsecondary level. Occupations inlcuded are: (1) public safety assistant, (2) career guidance technician, (3) leisure counselor, (4) word processing/reprographics specialist, (5) word processing supervisor, (6) solar installer, and (7) fast food service unit supervisor. Each occupational description contains a rationale for selecting the occupations, a job description, a list of competencies needed, a list of resources and acknowledgments, and a list of publications related to the occupation.
