This resource manual describes a model for planning and developing comprehensive career placement services integrated into the total career development efforts of secondary and postsecondary schools in Illinois. The manual is designed to be used by educational administrators at the local and regional level in developing specific program goals, defining local programs, and selecting staff. Local or regional placement services staff can use the manual in planning and carrying out the operation of these services. The manual is organized into five sections, covering planning and development of the placement services, coordination of the elements, career development services, placement services, and follow-up and evaluation. Provided within each section are a discussion of ideas and lists of relevant activities suggested to implement aspects of the complete placement program. A set of resource pages follows each section of the manual to illustrate ideas and materials discussed in the text. (KC)
