This group leader's handbook provides a set of structured activities for a workshop on peer counseling and employment skills training. Two preliminary chapters outline group leadership skills and group process techniques. The activities which can be presented in any order to suit program goals are then arranged in two major clusters: peer counseling activities and employment skills training. Twenty-eight peer counseling exercises focus on group building goals, opportunities for non-threatening self-disclosure by group members, and the development of specific communication skills. Their general purpose is to create a high level of trust and support among group members that will form the basis for the career development activities that follow. Twenty-six employment skills training exercises are aimed at assessing a participant's needs and abilities as these relate to career planning. There are also a number of activities that develop skills in identifying career areas and planning strategies for the job search. Each activity may include purpose, approximate time, materials, procedure, and follow-up. An annotated listing of sources of occupational information and a bibliography/selected resources list provide sources of materials and activities to supplement the handbook. (YLB)
