The Y.O.U. Job Search Instructor's Manual
The Y.O.U. Job Search guide Instructor’s Manual is designed to assist instructors and those functioning as career service advisors and administrators, who are responsible for the mentoring and training of students and clients in the art of job search. This manual moves beyond the “read a book and search for a job” approach to finding and securing meaningful employment which is no longer relevant in today’s highly competitive and occupational specific job market.
The major focus of this instructional manual is based upon the precept that it makes more sense to expose students and clients to a support-driven and simulation-oriented learning environment. It is an aid to the development of appropriate skills and attitudes before exposure to the challenges of job search in the field (the real work-a-day world). This objective can only be accomplished through a “competency-based” learning environment.
Simply stated, “competency-based" education is a process or system that emphasizes the specification, learning, and demonstration of those competencies (knowledge, skills and behaviors) that are of central importance to a given learning outcome, task or goal.
The content and focus of The Y.O.U. Job Search guide Instructor’s Manual is analogous to the axiom, “Feed a starving man fish and you nourish him for a day, but teach him how to fish and he can feed himself for a lifetime.”
