Appendixes include the following: career counseling competencies; State/National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee contacts; directory of state career information delivery systems; the NCDG; state guidance supervisors; guidelines for use of computer-based career information and guidance systems, career software review, and preparation and evaluation of career and occupational information literature; government printing offices; sources of state/local job outlook; annotated list of 14 print references; overview of equal opportunity legislation; labor market information directors; state data center organizations; and acronyms. The trainer's guide provides the information, research, theories, and implementation activities necessary for conducting the inservice program.
