This manual contains the criteria against which the Manpower and Community College Counselor Training Program pre-assessments are evaluated. These pre-assessments are conducted using materials that have been designed to assess the entry level knowledge and skills of program counselor trainees. The criteria are viewed as the best collective judgment of what standards are to be upheld in counseling performance. The actual pre-assessment materials range in scope from self-evaluation to counseling knowledge and application. Also included are the appropriate responses for the criterion tests completed during the programmed instruction phase of the training program. The criterion tests relate to such areas as occupational information, job development and psychological assessment. (SJL)
