They are (1) Planning (goals and benefits, resource coordination, rural and urban schools), (2) Responsibility (vocational teachers, vocational counselors, school placement coordinator, school system placement coordinator, school administrators, advisory/craft committees, team cooperation), (3) Implementation (placement coordinator at local school and system level, placement center, advisory/craft committee, publicize, vocational student surveys, business community surveys, forms and procedures), (4) Procedures (placement services orientation, vocational student survey completion, placement office registration, employment interviews, continuing education information, supportive services), (5) Student Preparation (job hunting plan, student awareness, job seeking skills, job acquiring skills, job keeping skills, terminating a job), and (6) Followup and Evaluation. Forty-three forms are provided. A bibliography is followed by appendixes summarizing Alabama and federal child labor laws. (YLB)
