A project was designed to improve employment preparation, development, and opportunity for handicapped learners through preservice training of California personnel who deliver vocational and special education. The project developed training modules to be shared by California universities and disseminated to other schools. This report summarizes the purpose, design, management, and evaluation of the project, providing information on the number of people trained, impact on other institutions and programs, accomplishments to date (3 years into the project), changes in goals and resources, evaluation methodology and criteria, and effects of the program on those being served. Appendices (the larger portion of the document) present information on the evaluation plan, results and benefits expected, competencies to be achieved by participants, project participants, advisory committee members, and project impact on one institution. Also appended are 17 preservice training modules on the following topics: relevant state and federal legislation; resources; social security services; Job Training Partnership Act; use of microcomputers with special learners; funding; computer based vocational guidance systems; planning for change; process strategies for collaboration; parental involvement for transition; private industry collaboration; job training station task forces; community living skills; adaptive devices; community business inventories; negotiating work training stations; and model vocational special needs programs. Each module includes a competency description, rationale, objectives, prerequisites, evaluation procedures, content outline, learning activities, resources, and references. (CB)
