[Jobs] Ideas for Presentation

[Rosemary Lerdahl]

Hi, Dick,
I know I would like to hear the mechanics of how you incorporate the
career preparation into the already busy training schedule, and how you
work with a group that has very new students and others who are getting
close to graduation. Or, do you work individually with people who are
nearing graduation?  Also, what are your thoughts on how many staff it
takes to do job placement successfully when you need to work with
students, do job development with employers, and provide job coaching at
times.

Subject: [Jobs] Ideas for Presentation

Duncan Larsen of the Colorado Center and I are scheduled to do three 1
1/2 hour sessions and I'm scheduled one 30 minute presentation on career
preparation and job placement in a training center.  It will be at the
national training center conference the Federation is holding in early
December. 

Since this list is populated with bright people who know a lot about
such subjects, I wanted to solicit your ideas for both content and
structure:

1. What sort of things do you think we should cover in the three
presentations, which will be sequential in nature (in other words, it
will
be one 4 1/2 hour presentation broken up over three days)?     

2. How much participant involvement should we have, and do you have any
ideas about how best to get active participation?

3. Are any of you going to the conference, and if so, are you planning
to attend one or more of these sessions?  If you are, I would appreciate
knowing so, and I would really appreciate your involvement in ours.  

I'm a pretty talkative creature, but I can't say that people would love
listening to me for five hours.  It may well be that they'd like to
listen to Duncan for that period of time, as she's always been pretty
entertaining.
In any event, got any ideas for us?

Dick Davis
