In this program, participants become acquainted with occupations that are representative of 10 basic job functions. They learn how these occupations relate to personal interests, abilities, skills, educational goals, experiences, and training. They consider the working conditions, salary, and employment outlook for each occupation. Finally, participants use this information to make decisions and plans about the careers they will pursue. This Job Function Booklet examines occupations involving working with numbers and symbols, one of the 10 basic job functions explored in the series, and describes four occupations related to this function: medical laboratory assistant, computer programmer, bank teller, and library assistant. The booklet contains the following sections: (1) an "explore" section, which describes the working with numbers and symbols job function and introduces the four occupations representative of it; (2) four "perform" sections, which contain work simulation activities related to each of the four occupations (e.g., "imagine you are a library assistant; your task is to help catalog new books for your library"); these activities give participants "hands-on" experience in performing work-related tasks; and (3) four "decide" sections, which provide greater detail about the occupations and about working conditions, income, and education and experience required. Education and experience activities that can be undertaken by participants are suggested. (KC)
