Eight papers presented at a September, 1985 forum concerned with the school to work transition of handicapped youth are presented.

An introductory chapter, "Transition from School-to-Work: The Education and Training Enterprise" and a synthesis chapter, "Challenges and Future Directions" were prepared by L.A. Phelps, organizer and chair of the forum. Papers have the following titles and authors: "Secondary Vocational Education" (R.B. Cobb); "Postsecondary Vocational Education" (J. Brown); "The Job Training Partnership Act and Job Corps" (L. Tindall); "Business and Industry Training Programs" (K. Shaffer); "Proprietary Schools: A Case Study" (R. McCrae); "Higher Education" (J.
