This guide is intended to assist vocational administrators assuming a facilitative and leadership role in the development and implementation of programs to help vocational students acquire and develop transferable skills. The guide is divided into three parts. Part 1 provides examples of the skills and discusses their importance in two broad areas: (1) group problem-solving, including interpersonal, group process, problem-solving, decision-making, planning, communication, and thinking/reasoning skills; and (2) organizational and management skills, including such areas as business economics, business operations, management, statistical quality control, and quality of work life principles and techniques. The following implementation strategies are discussed in Part 2: infusion; application (the transfer process, similarities between transfer situations, and identification of the important parts of a task); cooperation; integration; and barriers to effective information (lost opportunities, implicit goals/uninformed participants, and the importance of a team approach). Part 3 presents examples of activities to develop problem-solving, interpersonal, computation, and communication skills. Appendixes present examples of transferable skills and characteristics and sources of additional information. (MN)
