School-Based Job Placement Service Model. Final Report.
McCloskey, I. L.
This report describes the background and results of a project to establish a school-based job placement service in the Columbia-Montour Area Vocational-Technical School in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. The center's activities, based on a previously-developed model, included these components: (1) Cooperative job development with the Bureau of Employment Security, (2) cooperative job matching, (3) followup to assist in work adjustment, (4) the educational program, and (5) feedback of information to improve the program. Findings and analysis are reported for placement, the 1974-75 followup study, mobility, maturity, nontraditional careers, the Bureau of Employment Security, starting wages, and cooperation. Further conclusions are offered on the facility, the word processing machine, diversified occupations programs, letters to employers, industry input, and professional associations. Conclusions indicate the following: Students placed by the program obtained higher starting wages and jobs in larger corporations; some graduates did not show readiness to enter the world of work upon graduation; although employers sought women for nontraditional jobs, no female students had chosen training in these areas; and cooperation with the Bureau of Employment Security was good. Information about average starting salaries and the followup study is appended along with other project-related material. (NJ)
