This manual describes the methods and procedures which Project Skill has developed since its beginning in 1974 and provides a sourcebook of ideas for those who might be interested in adapting a program designed to expand the employment opportunities of the handicapped in the civil service system. The first of the five sections in the document presents the history, structure, and results of Project Skill. The second section discusses three facets of job development: Gaining support; selecting tools, techniques, and selling points; and cementing the commitment. The third section explains the elements of the recruitment and intake process: Recruiting, pre-screening, civil service examination, and final selection. The fourth section presents the purposes of the training program and then describes the orientation, training activities, program, plans, reports, and job placement follow-through. The fifth section concludes the first half of the document with a discussion of the final results and implications of the project. The last half of the document contains the appendixes which include records of the project correspondence, related forms and materials, schedules, and checklists used in the training program. (BM)
