One division of the Employment Service is the Junior Section, for
the guidance of boys and girls from 16 to 21 years of age seeking
employment. Local junior sections were organized as branches of
local employment offices and in schools. A "junior counselor" was
placed in charge of each local junior section to study the needs
and qualifications of those who applied for employment, and to
give them advice. The Junior Section is still maintained with a
director in the Washington office. The duties of the junior
counselor are stated as follows:

To influence boys and girls to remain in school as long as
possible.

To give aid toward the right start for those who have to leave
school to go to work.

To arouse the ambitions of the boys and girls to fit themselves
for definite careers.

To direct youth who are employed toward some form of trade,
technical, or business school for special training.

To promote the opportunities for vocational education.

To follow up all applicants in their training and at their work to
see that they have the best available advantages of study and
labor.
