This color-coded guide provides a generic core employment skills and attitudes guide for special needs students that is appropriate for use in all occupational areas. The units should facilitate the mainstreaming of students with a wide variety of handicapping and disadvantaged conditions. The units are self-paced and contain hands-on materials, objective evaluation checklists, controlled text, and vocabulary development.

The 10 units in the guide cover the following: decision making and problem solving; relations with others; work attitudes and habits; communication; professional hygiene; self-evaluation; applying information; the job interview; paperwork; and keeping the job. Each unit is color-coded for the following components: introduction, objectives, and student assessment; terms and equipment; steps of procedure; skill sheets; activity sheets; and unit review and performance checklist.
