This publication seeks to examine the problems and practical concerns related to the organization and operation of an effective community college placement program. Using presentations given in workshops, basic information in four critical areas of placement activities in the community college is provided. First, a presentation by B. Keith Duffin deals with the philosophy and assumptions which underlie a successful placement operation. Second, Glenn A. Adams deals with the development of a student's resume and its use in the placement process. Additionally, materials developed by workshop participants are included as samples of ways of handling induction activities, processing employer requests, and circulating opportunities to both faculty and students. Third, Richard Jennings provides concrete information as to how placement directors can organize programs of public relations and advertising of both the college and placement services. Finally, James K. Morishima shares suggestions relative to conducting followup studies and evaluations of placement operations. (Author)
