Worker Traits Training Unit. MA Handbook No. 314.
Manpower Administration (DOL), Washington, DC.
This training unit provides persons involved in employment interviewing, vocational counseling, curriculum planning, and other manpower activities with a multifactor approach for obtaining information from an individual and relating the data to job requirements. It is intended to result in the development of the bridge between client potential and experience and the requirements of jobs, particularly for clients who need to make occupational or career choices or changes. The unit contains two training sessions (which include activities requiring use of the "Dictionary of Occupational Titles"--Volumes I, II, and the two supplements, "Handbook for Analyzing Jobs", and "Guide for Relating General Educational Development to Career Planning.") and three appendixes. Session I, Application of Worker Traits to Client Appraisal, outlines techniques for obtaining information from the client in terms of worker traits, and requires participants to practice developing worker traits profiles for the clients in the case histories provided. Session II, Utilization of Worker Traits Arrangement (WTA) in Formulating Vocational Goals, outlines techniques and procedures for relating data about the client to appropriate career areas of specific occupations. It contains a step-by-step procedure for relating the client data profile to the profile of job requirements for the WTA group(s), and other activities. Appendix A contains practice exercises, appendix B contains an introduction to worker traits, and Orientation to Worker Traits Arrangement (WTA) is provided in appendix C. (TA)
