This orientation package provides an overview of all of the components of a comprehensive approach to guidance, counseling, and placement. The competencies related to each of the components are included in the package. The goal for the orientation module is for the participant to understand what the comprehensive approach to guidance, counseling, and placement is; what its advantages are; how competency-based training is related to using this approach; and how to determine what training is relevant to the participant. Sections of this module deal with planning, structuring, and implementing guidance programs; making decisions based on program costs and impact; and developing staff competencies for the comprehensive approach to guidance.
