To help students explore their options and make sound vocational and educational decisions, counselors need occupational information. This should include materials on employment trends for the Nation as a whole and detailed infor mation on occupations—the nature of the work; education, train ing, and experience needed for entry; aptitudes and personal characteristics needed for success; job prospects; earnings; and working conditions. Counselors also need information about edu cation and training programs, financial aid, and Government pro grams for special groups in the labor force. tions. Rather, the current usefulness of each item was judged indi vidually. Some material issued in the early 1970’s, with job de scriptions and other information still considered accurate, was in cluded, but some material published during the mid-1970’s which has become outdated was excluded. Publications with no price indicated are available free of charge from the issuing agency while the supply lasts. Priced publications with a GPO Stock Number are available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. All Bureau of Labor Statistics publications also are available from the Bureau’s regional offices. Make checks or money orders payable to the Superintendent of Documents.

This publication describes occupational guidance and related ma terial available from Federal Government agencies. Through legislative mandate, agencies collect, analyze, and publish infor mation on a variety of topics of interest to counselors, students, parents, and others concerned with careers. As employers, most agencies also develop information about the job opportunities they offer. Some publications listed are out of print and are so noted. They may be available at Federal Depository Libraries. (Addresses of Federal Depository Libraries are available from the Library of the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402).

(See Occupational Em ployment Statistics Handbook under Regional, State, and local in formation). Further information is available from State employ ment security agencies listed in appendix A. National and State Occupational Information Coordinating Committees were man dated by the 1976 Education Act Amendments to establish a com munications network through which occupational and training in formation would be developed, tested, and shared across the coun try. Further information is available from State committees listed in appendix B. As part of its mandate, the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee has compiled a listing of examples of State-developed occupational information, including computerized systems; videotape and microfiche tools; and printed material on occupational characteristics, job search, and training and occupational preparation. The listing appears in appendix C. This Guide is divided into eight chapters. Chapter I covers occu pational information, including material that describes the nature of work in occupations; the education, training, special skills, and personal qualities usually needed to enter them; the job outlook; opportunities for advancement; earnings; and so forth. Chapter II discusses opportunities for self-employment, summer jobs, over seas jobs, and part-time and temporary jobs. Chapter III includes materials covering special categories of workers, including college graduates, minorities, veterans, young workers, and women. Chapter IV includes general material on apprenticeship, education, and financial aid for students. Chapter V covers materials on job search—finding jobs, applying for them, taking tests, and inter viewing. Chapter VI includes materials on career education. Chapter VII lists sources of statistics that can be useful for coun selors. Chapter VIII provides references to other bibliographies. The listings include government career guidance material issued up to the summer of 1979.
