The guide is designed to provide school administrators and guidance directors with an outline of what has been and what can be developed in the areas of structure and organization of student job placement programs. It describes a model program developed for the Akron-Summit County Ohio secondary schools, and consists of detailed outlines of the program's orientation and structure. The section on orientation deals with: communicating with top administrative staff, contacting and interviewing school principals and counselors, meeting with students, and contacting and involving individuals and groups in the community. The program structure section deals with: office and logistical organization, staff selection and orientation, data processing, staff organization, in-school and out-of-school program phases, and job development. More than half of the guide consists of sample forms and reports dealing with program procedures and student identification, illustrative of the structure within which a placement specialist could operate.
