select from 45,000 occupations

Educational Division counsels,
places 2500 future teachers

By RENA SELDON
By the time an undergraduate
becomes a senior--and maybe be-
fore--a difficult decision facing
him: just what job to choose from
some 45,000 occupations.
If you are trying to come to
answer, whether a graduate,
undergraduate or alumni, t h e
Career Planning and Development
Unit (CPDUi of Placement Serv-.
ices may be of help. Located at
3200 SAB, CPDU offers occupa-
tional and personal counseling to
all students.
David A. Gillette, assistant di-
rector of the Placement Services
and counselor at the Unit, con-
siders "self-actualization" to be
the first step toward planning a
career.
Once the student has answered
for himself questions like, "Am I
most creative with ideas or
things?", "Do I enjoy working
with groups or with individuals?",
and "Do I have any prejudice
toward working with people who
are less fortunate than myself,
physically, mentally, socially, fi-
nancially?", he may be able to
choose an occupation more wisely.
To help the student, an occupa-
tional information library is
maintained in the Careers office.
It's collection includes copies of
the U.S. Department of L a b o r
Dictionary of Occupational Titles,
directories of available positions
from various states, and the
Placement Annual,
Vocational testing is not a
major tool of the counselor at
CPDU. "Students think if they
take a test, the machine will grind
out an answer for them," says
Mildred Webber, director of the
counseling unit.
If a student wants to take tests,
he might be referred by his coun-
sel or to the Bureau of Psycholo-
gical Services.
Group as well as individual
counseling sessions are held at
the careers unit. Counseling re-
cords are confidential, available
only to the counselor who works
with the student.

PART OF THE CAREER counseling services that are available
at the Placement Services is a large library of material describ-
ing more than 45,000 occupations. Literature may be borrowed by
students through the CPDU.

By SUSAN ROTHSTEIN
Whether it's kindergarten or
college, assisting or administrat-
ing, Peace Corps or Vista, teach-
nig is the business of the educa-
tional placement division of the
University's Placement Services.
A scholastic matchmaker, the
service fills some 2,500 teaching
positions annually from nearly
35,000 requests.
Besides publishing a weekly bul-
letin of interview schedules and
job openings, the placement office
keeps records and information on
the schools that come for inter-
views. They also provide career
counseling for the education ma-
jor who has not selected a field
or who is interested in a non-
teaching career.
Educational placement division
will hold a 'meeting in October
when seniors can register with the
division.
Though many placement3 will
be made through mail correspon-
dence, approximately 3,500 per-
sonal -interviews are conducted
each year by the educational divi-
sion 650 representatives of schools
came to campus last year.
While under the scrutinizing
eyes of the interviewer, "it may
be some consolation for the stu-
dent to know that interviewers are
interviewed too. We have to be se-
lective about which schools will be
allowed to interview," Dr. Elbert
Van Aken, director of the educa-
tional division said.
The greatest demand of the job
schools is for elementary and set;-
ondary school teachers in English,
science, mathematics, foreign lan-
guages, business, industrial and
vocational education, library sci-
ence and most types of special ed-
ucation.
Most national salaries range
from $6,200 to $9,500, with Michi-
gan salaries slightly higher than
the national average.
The bureau also has available
information on a variety of teach-
ing programs for students with a
liberal arts degree interested in
further study or community devel--
opment programs-including MAT
programs, Peace Corps, Teachers'
Corps, and Vista.
Students interested in the Peace
Corps should fill out applications
a year before departure is plan-
ned. Mathematics, science and
physical education teachers are in
high demand, but about 65 percent
of all Peace Corps volunteers are
liberal arts majors.

EDUCATIONAL DIVISION of Placement Services places almost
every student who wants .to go into teaching. Besides bringing in-
terviewers to campus, the unit fills many positions by mail.
