The blocks are: common occupational skills; machining; forming and laminating; veneers and laminates; assembly; and finishing and restoration. The section for each block describes the skills and knowledge that must be acquired to perform the tasks, any shifts or changes in technology, the components of the tasks, and the tools and equipment needed, and 18 tasks including builds prototypes, assembles cabinets, and restores woodwork. Appendix A is a list of tools and equipment, Appendix B is a glossary, Appendix C contains data from the validation of the analysis, and Appendix D is a pie chart depicting the average number of questions on an interprovincial exam for each block.

Abstract:
Asian Neighborhood Design (AND) was established by a group of student architects in 1973 to rehabilitate houses and revitalize community spaces in the crowded neighborhoods of San Francisco's Chinatown. Despite its growth and development in response to changes in economic conditions, the policy environment, and its own clientele, AND has retained its initial approach, which is based on a comprehensive, needs-centered model of poverty alleviation. As a community development corporation with specialized expertise in architectural design and construction, AND works to help neighborhood residents achieve self-sufficiency by creating access to existing jobs in the construction industry and creating inner-city jobs in case-goods manufacturing. AND is committed to assisting low-income Bay area residents, including hard-to-place welfare recipients and ex-felons. Areas in which AND is active include the following: job training; wood products manufacturing; construction management; and architectural services. AND also offers posttraining counseling in critical life areas and management services. Of the 102 trainees participating in AND training programs in fiscal 1998, 75 (74%) graduated and 68 (91%) were placed in jobs at an average starting hourly wage of $9.18. In fiscal 1998, AND incurred total operating costs of $658,942 ($9,690 per job placement or $11,981 per retained job). (Contains 14 tables/figures.) (MN)
