| Summary: | Designed to serve as a guide for job placement personnel, this handbook is written from the point of view of a school or job preparation facility, based on methodology applicable to the placement function in any setting. Factors identified as critical to a successful placement operation are utilization of a systems approach, establishment of measurable goals and objectives, designation of a coordinator of placement, and delineation of staff functions. Topics included in the discussion of personnel engaged in the placement process are the typical duties of a coordinator of placement and the role of advisory committees. A sample advisory committee agenda, letters of invitation, and list of questions for committee members are included. Records utilized in the placement process are discussed and a possible format is presented for a job index card file. Guidelines are provided for the call, visit, and letter to employers. Suggestions are made for publicity activities and alternate routes to job development. The following factors involved in successful placement are discussed: Good job development, rapport with the employer, accurate and thorough assessment of the job and the client (student), preparation of employer and client, provision of service to the employer and client, followup, and achievement of results. The appendix contains job descriptions and other occupational information for a sampling of placement-related positions in the Los Angeles Unified School District. (TA) |
