The guide, part of an exemplary career education program, contains information on developing a community-based speakers program. It briefly lists the program's purposes and objectives and gives detailed steps to follow for implementing such a program, describing the nature and duties of the steering committee and volunteer participants (coordinators, hosts, teachers, counselors), as well as the nature and scope of the program's corporate responsibilities. The guide also describes students' role in the program, displays sample speaker request and student program evaluation forms, lists suggested professions from which speakers could be drawn, and provides a set of preparatory suggestions for resource speakers prior to their school presentation.
