ABSTRACT: Project SELECT (Strategies for Equalizing and
Linking Education and Career Training) is a means of
promoting sex equity in vocational education and career
preparation. SELECT consists of three handbooks for middle
or junior high school students, teachers, and parents and
a resource booklet entitled "Women at Work". These
materials are designed to help show that significant change
is occurring in vocational education due to the increased
number of women now working outside the home and other
changes taking place in American society. This document
includes the handbook for students and is divided into five
units. These units provide information and activities to
help the student in the following areas: (1) thinking about
career options open to them; (2) understanding the laws
promoting sex equity in education; (3) exploring individual
interests, abilities, and training needs; (4) becoming more
aware of social changes, especially changes in the labor
market for women; and (5) utilizing this handbook and other
resources in planning for the future. A glossary of
important terms is also included. (BM)
