The Tools of the Trade project was undertaken to offer comprehensive job search assistance to adult basic education students in the form of career awareness workshops. The workshops covered the following topics: completing job applications, writing resumes, filling out skill cards, interviewing for a job, analyzing the job market, following up on job leads, networking, and making direct contact with employers. The project was highly successful, serving well over the planned number of clients (42 individuals served as opposed to the initial goal of 25 clients). Of the persons who completed the program, 43 percent (18 persons) are now employed, 7 percent (3 individuals) have entered other training, and 19 percent (8 clients) have met other personal objectives. Another nine project participants (21 percent) were still actively engaged in job-hunting activities at the end of the project. The project's success is especially noteworthy since the community in which the project was undertaken, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, is a somewhat rural area in which unemployment is still a serious problem. This project report contains many of the materials used during the workshops, including materials dealing with employer expectations, job objectives, skills identification, paper skills (pocket resumes, applications, skill cards, letter-writing guidelines, and resumes), phone contacts, interviewing, and follow up. A 90-item bibliography concludes the document. (MN)
