The development of this resource manual will inevitably provide counselors and teachers with answers to the inquiries of students. In some cases, students or their pa- rents can seek information pertaining to job opportunities, occupational edu- cation programs, job requirements, and how to get a job. The valuable information contained in the resource manual will be kept updated and the document will be available to counselors and both school and public libraries. Sam Shigetomi State Director for Vocational Education 5 INTRODUCTION This Occupational Resource Manual for Hawaii (ORMH) is the product of a cooperative endeavor between the Occupational Information and Guidance Services Center (OIGSC) under the Community College System and the Department of Educa- tional Psychology, College of Education, University of Hawaii. The Manual consists of this Introduction and sections on general information about How to Get a Job, Hawaii State Employment Services, Programs for the Disadvantaged, Training Programs, Scanning the Futures, Acknowledgments, References and Employment Summaries revolving around 15 occupational clusters. These clusters were suggested by the Office of Education and constitute the principal con- straint or "guideline" for the organization, development, production and distribution of the Manual. This degree of freedom is, of course, a mixed blessing.It offers the condition for bold and creative invention on the one hand, andon the other, poses the abiding threat of--as some would put it--"bombing out."But how can the Occupational Resource Manual for Hawaii be more thana harvesting, processing, packaging and distribution problem?What is so inventive about that? Why not publicize the Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT), conduct workshopson its uses and see to it that there are DOT instructional units included in the high schools, community colleges and universities?Such units could include the wealth of information related to the 1965 revision plus earlier editions-- personality traits of workers in given occupations, the General AptitudeTest Battery and specialized tests, job satisfaction, job mobility anda host of 3ther associated data. Together with information about jobs available locally and nationally, about occupational trends for Hawaii and elsewhere andon training programs, would there really be a need for the ORMH? To be sure, it is very disquieting even to contemplatea resource manual already outdated upon publication without heaping on the stingingawareness ail that the DOT is vastly superior in comprehensiveness, details, research data, etc. to any manual on occupations supported by funds, the entirety of which would about pay for one professional administrator.Underfunded projects like undercapitalized businesses can look to failure as their destiny. Furthermore, it is evident that the pressing need today is not forany more document production -- who has read just those in his special interest areas with any depth, scope and regularity? -- but rather rapid, and preferably instant information display comparable to those available to the commanding general of the Strategic Air Command. Why then another document, the Occupational Resource Manualfor Hawaii (ORMH) to add to the bulging collections inour archives, reference bureaus, libraries, etc.? That route has already been tried and shown you-can't-get- there-from-here. Thus, if the ORMH defines one of the salient attributes ofan "exemplary" project, Hawaii must surely be stretching thebounds of credulity. Exemplary Features of ORMH The Manual in reality provided the occasion fora demonstration, a first fitting of a problem-solving pattern consisting of service, training,research and dissemination to an actual life problem-- the organization, production, distribution of ORMH.Ordinarily the ORMH would have been a task undertaken by a community agency or by one of the departments of the State of Hawaii. But, too frequently our human services agencies are constructed in themanner that encourages institutional rot, territorial imperatives, bureaucratic mentality, and all those characteristics that stifle creativity,erode morale and promote conformity. Clearly there is a compelling need for new and improvedproblem-solving procedures. The human talent and freedom essential to effective and efficient 2 7 problem-solving
