DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to complete the development of a comprehensive interactive multimedia training program on job retention skills for the at-risk teen. Job training programs concentrate primarily on helping teens identify career interests or search for job opportunities and not on teaching the social skills needed to keep a job. In Phase I, instruction focused on conflict management in relation to general workplace expectations and time management. Findings of the feasibility study showed convincing support for the effectiveness of the curriculum with a group of Job Corp trainees. In Phase II we will expand the program to include 13 new units of group instruction that develop social skills in five critical areas of workplace experiences: time management, forming supportive social networks, becoming a key player in a company, dealing with personal beliefs and values, and identifying and reporting inappropriate behavior. Our approach, based on cognitive-behavioral theory, integrates interactive story animations delivered on DVD, individualized interactive student exercises on CD-ROM, and class activities. Instruction is designed to inform, engage and motivate teens, model appropriate behaviors, and provide opportunities to role-play and practice skills. We will evaluate the program with a group of 96 Job Corps trainees using measures of job-related social skill knowledge and usability.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是完成针对高危青少年的工作保留技能的综合交互式多媒体培训计划的开发。职业培训计划主要集中于帮助青少年确定职业兴趣或寻找工作机会，而不是教授保住工作所需的社交技能。在第一阶段，教学重点是与一般工作场所期望和时间管理相关的冲突管理。可行性研究的结果表明，一群就业公司学员对课程的有效性提供了令人信服的支持。在第二阶段，我们将扩展该计划，纳入 13 个新的团体指导单元，这些单元在工作场所经验的五个关键领域培养社交技能：时间管理、形成支持性社交网络、成为公司的关键角色、处理个人信仰和价值观，以及识别和报告不当行为。我们的方法基于认知行为理论，整合了 DVD 上的交互式故事动画、CD-ROM 上的个性化交互式学生练习以及课堂活动。教学旨在告知、吸引和激励青少年，塑造适当的行为，并提供角色扮演和练习技能的机会。我们将使用与工作相关的社交技能知识和可用性的衡量标准，与 96 名就业团受训者一起评估该计划。
