This report discusses sheltered workshop programming and high school-level vocational training for mentally retarded (MR) individuals in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Sheltered workshops conducted by Goodwill Industries and Parc-way Industries were examined to determine client characteristics and the rate of placement in competitive employment. The opportunities for high-school level mentally retarded students included: programs within Pittsburgh high schools, programs at Pittsburgh's center for the more severely handicapped, vocational courses at special education centers, in-school paid job experience, co-op work involving paid jobs in the community, work activity centers, and area vocational-technical schools. Conclusions were that sheltered workshops need to increase business, improve client placement into competitive work, provide programming for more people, foster communication among workshops, and make efforts to restructure Supplemental Security Income benefits for workshop employees. Concerning the high school vocational programs, the study recommended increasing the number of mentally retarded students taking vocational courses, developing additional courses suited to MR students, and studying the effect of high school-level vocational training on adult careers. Appended are lists of vocational courses offered by the school system, a list of area high schools with programs for MR students, and a bibliography. (JDD)
