Occupational Information Dissemination Project. Final Report, January, 1977.
Virginia Polytechnic Inst. and State Univ., Blacksburg. Dept. of Education.
The Department of Labor, other Federal and state government agencies, and private producers have developed a significant amount of occupational information which can be useful to counselors and others who help students in making the transition from school to work. However, over the years the training of users has not kept pace with the development of materials and methods of dissemination. The purpose of the Occupational Information Dissemination Project was to study the current status of the use of occupational information and to recommend ways of improving training at both the pre-service and in-service levels. Thus users can become better informed about the existence of current and future materials and their importance in helping students make the transition from school to work. The project was divided into three phases: planning, data collection, and analysis of data and preparation of report. Major efforts were made to maximize personal contacts with those knowledgeable in the area of occupational information, to collect data from users in fields concerning their pre-service and in-service training experiences, to review related literature, to draw implications, and to make recommendations for improving training and dissemination of occupational information.
