Intended to assist others wishing to adapt the Arizona model, this guide describes the processes of the Summer Technical Institute Project. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the Summer Technical Institutes, career exploration programs directed primarily at young women in their early teens. Chapter 2 is a literature review conducted to ascertain if technical careers offer sufficient potential for women in terms of salary and job growth, to determine what factors cause young women neither to pursue nor persist in nontraditional careers, and to determine which age groups would most likely be positively affected by intervention programs. The model Technical Institute curriculum is presented in Chapter 3. It discusses selection and maintenance of the advisory committee as well as the instructional units (computer awareness, career decisions, and production processes), goals, and outcomes. Other topics include socialization and belonging, evaluation, facilities, criteria for attendance, and time frame. Chapter 4 describes implementation features of the Institutes. It covers marketing for student support; organizational solicitation; marketing for student participation aimed at school counselors, administrators, teachers, and parents and students; instructional support; counselor selection; teacher selection; volunteer community participants; scheduling; and health and safety issues. Appendixes include the program design and activity schedule. (YLB)
