CIP Grades 7 and up Reviewed by Elaine Blakey Volume 14 Number 4 1986 July These four student-oriented workbooks are part of a five workbook series designed to assist young people of junior and senior high school age in assessing themselves and their values, attitudes, aptitudes, and interests and in researching and choosing a career. The workbooks can bae used independently by an individual or as part of a unit of study within a class. Who am I? focuses on self-knowledge as the basis for career decisions and provides the reader with an array of questionnaires and tests to help him/her assess his/her own personality, values, interests, and aptitudes. Changes in work over the past hundred years is explored, as is sex-stereotyping in careers. The writers are careful not to make judgements, but to encourage the readers to look to thems-selves for the answers regarding sex-appropriate occupations. Different Occupations-Different Satisfactions provides an opportunity to research various jobs. The reader is encouraged to examine the advantages and disadvantages of a number of occupations, as well as the value of the career to society and the amount of money the job pays. The Job for Me focuses on decision-making and how lives are affected by even the smallest decision a person makes. It begins with two stories about high school boys who make some poor decisions and have to live with the consequences. However, from this rather negative and sex-biased beginning (not only boys have these kinds of difficulties) the workbook goes on to set up a framework by which decisions can be examined and evaluated. Preparing for the Job makes the reader aware “that many occupations require special preparation or education, and provides information about the various educational routes available.” Educational opportunities in colleges, private vocational schools, and universities are discussed, as well as apprenticeships, and careers in the Armed Forces. Financial assistance through bursaries, scholarships, loans, and grants is mentioned. The workbooks do not provide specific information about careers, but rather a workbook format for a student to research his/her own particular interests using career information from other sources. Space is provided for student answers and emphasis is placed on thinking through the questions and answering them as completely as possible. Most of the answers required are subjective responses unique to each individual. Answers are provided for objective questions. The workbooks would be useful to someone who is looking for a way to prepare him/her self for a career decision. The value of the workbooks would be directly dependent on the commitment of the individual. Elaine Blakey, Red Deer, Alta.
