| مستخلص: | The Office Information Systems-International Program at Southwestern College, in California, was designed to provide Hispanic students with training for entry-level office employment. This model program guide stems from a project to improve curricula and delivery and focuses on changes in three intensive bilingual programs in general, medical, and legal office skills. The first section describes initial surveys of businesses and English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) students to assess needs, the community advisory committees for each program, student recruitment efforts, the bilingual mode of instruction utilized in the programs, and a statewide consortium for promoting access to vocational education. The next section reviews the major units covered in the programs, indicating that the General Office-Administrative Office Assistant-Bilingual includes instruction in business English, wordprocessing and spreadsheets, and office procedures; the Medical Office Clerk-Bilingual covers medical terminology, translation/interpretation, computer skills, cardiovascular resuscitation and vital signs training; and the Legal Office Clerk-Bilingual includes computer skills, legal terminology, research, office procedures, and translation/interpretation. The final section reviews features of the intensive programs, including entrance requirements, classroom techniques, a panel discussion on bilingual careers, employment preparation, and student job placement assistance. The business and ESL student surveys are appended. (KP) |
