One of several products developed for a comprehensive program of career development (kindergarten through university) for vocational education in Florida, this resource manual, divided into two parts, presents a model for facilitating the life career development of students in the community college setting and provides guidelines for its implementation. Part 1 of the manual contains an overview of the model; a description of the delivery system with an overview of a career development and placement center; an overview and diagrams of the management system; an overview and rationale of the support system; description of the units of the system, including a learning center and tutorial laboratory for technology; and an overview of curriculum provisions. Part 2 presents the ten steps for the implementation of the model, among which are organizing an appropriate interactive network of interested individuals and groups; inventorying and marshalling all available resources; putting the evaluation process in operation to determine how well the system is working; and providing a program of maintenance to sustain the vital parts of the system and the initiative, and tying together the activities into the interactive network.
