The curriculum guide for middle and junior high school grades presents 15 resource units, designed to simulate business career situations, organized into five sections: clerical (receptionist, general office worker, cashier, typist, and accounting clerk), secretarial/stenographic (secretary, court reporter, executive secretary), accounting and data processing (accountant, payroll accountant, data processing worker), and business ownership/professional (director of sales, travel agent, promotion manager, and manager of a small retail store). One additional unit covers writing letters of application and resumes. Each unit provides the unit's purpose, major activities, procedures for the teacher to follow before class begins and during class, optional activities, student materials for the major activities, background information about the occupation described in the unit, and teachers' keys which provide suggestions for discussions related to the simulation activity. Three appendixes (self-awareness activities, guidelines for conducting field trips, and guidelines for conducting interviews) comprise 35 pages of the document. (JR)
