DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For this project we propose to develop, produce, and evaluate a DVD-based training program on job retention skills for at-risk teens. Many teens, especially at-risk teens with learning disabilities, just entering the workforce will likely lose their jobs, not because they don't have the practical skills to do their work but because they lack the social skills needed to integrate into the workplace culture. The proposed program will cover job-related social skills in the areas of: Time Management, Job Expectations, Appearance at Work, Socializing in the Workplace, Authority, Zero Tolerance Policies, and Conflicts in the Workplace. The DVD will deliver fast-paced multimedia cartoons that tell interactive stories of teens in work-related situations. DVD video players are a popular low-cost technology that can deliver multimedia interactive programs that do not require the computer hardware and software that many social service providers do not have. In Phase I, we will develop and evaluate units on Getting to Work on Time and Being Timely on the Job (from Time Management) and The Job Description and Employment Contract (from Job Expectations). We will assess the impact of the program using a measure of job related social skills with a group of 96 Job Corps trainees.

描述（由申请人提供）：对于该项目，我们建议开发、制作和评估针对高危青少年的工作保留技能的 DVD 培训计划。许多青少年，尤其是有学习障碍的高危青少年，刚进入劳动力市场就可能会失去工作，不是因为他们没有完成工作的实际技能，而是因为他们缺乏融入职场文化所需的社交技能。拟议的计划将涵盖以下领域与工作相关的社交技能：时间管理、工作期望、工作仪表、工作场所社交、权威、零容忍政策和工作场所冲突。该 DVD 将提供快节奏的多媒体动画片，讲述青少年在工作相关情况下的互动故事。 DVD视频播放器是一种流行的低成本技术，可以提供多媒体交互节目，不需要许多社会服务提供商所没有的计算机硬件和软件。在第一阶段，我们将开发和评估有关按时上班和准时上班（来自时间管理）以及工作描述和雇佣合同（来自工作期望）的单元。我们将通过与工作相关的社交技能衡量标准，对 96 名就业团实习生进行评估，以评估该计划的影响。
