A list of contacts for locating displaced workers is in section 3. Sections 4 and 5 deal with services required, including a model for a sequential plan for providing displaced workers' services. Examples of specific activities are listed with each service. Section 6 is a chart of institutions, agencies, and firms that can be used to meet displaced workers' needs and the services that may be available. Section 7, 8, and 9 address the size of firms and present suggestions for conducting activities for each of the previously identified services for small and large firms. Sections 10 and 11 offer suggestions for using a planning guide and a checklist of key components for a successful displaced worker program. The final section lists steps to facilitate involvement of public education.
