New vocational • testing process will be offered An intensive vocational counseling program is in the process of being implemented on campus. The program will consist of a testing program, test interpretc.tion/ counseling interviews, . a comprehensive vocational library, employer guest speakers and a follow-through pro_gram. Tests Combined The testing program will involve the administration of the General Aptitude Test Battery, StrongVocationalinterest, Kuder Interest Inve ntory, TaylorJohnson Temperment Analysis, and the Interest Checklist. Any combination of these tests, along with a counselor's e xpertise, can be used to give an individual direction as to what major or occupation he should select. The counselor will exercise his expertise during the Counseling interviews and test interpretations. The counseling interviews and test interpretations will involve combining test scores, work experience, skills and interest for the purpose of giving students direction. During the counseling interview students will also be briefed on the use of the vocational library. Library Has Data The library consists of various occupational data such as inventory of job openings, occupational outlooks, and .the qualifications an individual needs to secure a job in a given area. Students are invited to come into the Counseling Center to take advantage of this service. Counselors also invite students to hear the variety of guest speakers ap: pearing on campus. Employer~ will pre' sent information of the · requJrements need ed to get into his specialized area, the desired characteristics an employee should possess, and the working conditions. Rapport Integral Factor Hopefully, another aspect of this program will be to enable the college to establish! rapport with the employers. This rapport is an integral factor in implementing the follow-through program . The ;'ollow-through program's pri·mary concern would be to those students who are in their fourth and last semester at. Palomar. This program is designed to inform students of the proper channels necessary in securing employment. This will entail the availability of jobs in the student's major work of study, re.so_urces in the QQJ!lJ!lunity that the student should refer ~ to when pursuing employment and leads to follow for qualified job seekers.
