Youth into Employment: A Training Manual

A monograph which takes the form of a training manual. It begins with Induction: getting to know each other, finding out what each trainee wants to know and establishing skills levels, expectations, and the usefulness of working in a group. Six independent units follow:Job‐hunting Skills; Options; How to Apply for Jobs; Interview Techniques: Enterprise; and Voluntary Work. These last two emphasise that there are alternatives to employment. Each section first presents the unit \em\ a framework for working sessions with ideas for content and group techniques for delivery. This is supported by Instructor′s Notes for use as handouts and worksheets with the unit; as part of a self‐help manual; or for the guidance of instructors and material for working sessions. The Notes include quizzes, worksheets, assessment forms and examples of CV and application form formats.
