A STUDY WAS MADE OF (1) THE NATURE, VARIETY, AND NUMBER OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT JOBS, (2) THE RELATION OF THE FINDINGS TO TRAINING, AND (3) THE POSSIBLE NEED FOR A MORE COMPREHENSIVE STUDY. A HYPOTHETICAL JOB CLASSIFICATION WAS DEVISED CONSISTING OF ADMINISTRATORS, SUPERVISORS, CONSULTANTS, FIELD REPRESENTATIVES, PROGRAM PLANNERS OR DIRECTORS, TEACHERS OR TRAINERS, RESEARCHERS, SUBJECT-MATTER SPECIALISTS, FRONT-LINE WORKERS, YOUTH WORKERS, AND WORKERS WITH WOMEN. QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSES FROM 18 AGENCIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD SUGGESTED REVISED SCHEMES--ADMINISTRATORS, SPECIALISTS (TEACHER/TRAINER, RESEARCHER, SUBJECT-MATTER SPECIALIST), AND FRONT LINE WORKERS (VILLAGE WORKERS, COMMUNITY CONSULTANTS, URBAN COMMUNITY WORKERS). MOST COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WORKERS COME FROM OTHER DISCIPLINES, PROFESSIONS, AND VOCATIONS, AND MUST HAVE SPECIAL TRAINING.
