This guide is designed to be used by counselors or teachers in adult basic education (ABE) classes to help adult students explore possible careers. The guide consists of three parts; part I contains four units that can be used in a four-lesson presentation. The units cover the following topics: self-concept, interests, information, and action planning. Each of the units includes information, suggested activities, expected outcomes, and space for teachers to write notes or questions corresponding to the material. Part II provides information on resume writing; part III covers job interviews. Appendixes contain materials for the learning activities, such as a values auction, job life-line, personal exploration scale, and characteristics of the six Holland personality types: realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional.
