The Career Information System (CIS) was developed with the purpose of providing direct access to career and labor market information in forms meaningful to students and other clients and integrated into schools and social agencies in the State. The document discusses the information system, dealing with the topics: economics of information, information sources, data storage, career planning information file maintenance, manpower requirements, and evaluation of career planning information content and timeliness. In attempting to systematize the delivery of information, CIS implemented both the QUEST questionnaire and occupational descriptors. While other user components were less used, each was considered as the most valuable system component by a significant portion of those who used it. Two main CIS services were provided to users: (1) consultation, demonstration, and inservice training for staff of agencies where the career information delivery system is used, and (2) supply and interpretation of labor market information to program planners. The document also discusses the Oregon Manpower Studies, surveys on the pertinence of information requests, and a detailed financial analysis. Included are graphic tables and charts and 10 appendixes. (BP)
