TRAINING OBJECTIVES ARE--(1) TO TEACH A GROUP OF YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS A TRADE (COURSES OFFERED ARE WELDING, RADIO AND TV REPAIR, APPLIANCE REPAIR, AUTO MECHANICS, BARBERING, BRICKLAYING, AND TECHNICAL WRITING), (2) TO CONSTRUCT PROGRAMED MATERIALS, (3) TO ASSESS WAYS TO IMPROVE TRAINING AND INSURE PLACEMENT AND GUIDANCE OF TRAINEES AFTER PAROLE, AND (4) TO MAKE TRAINING MATERIAL AVAILABLE TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS. SUPPLEMENTARY CLASSES ARE GIVEN IN REMEDIAL READING AND PERSONAL-SOCIAL SKILLS. THE AUTO MECHANICS COURSE, REVIEWED IN DETAIL IN THIS REPORT, WAS DEVELOPED AROUND COMMERCIAL TRAINING MATERIALS INCLUDING A PROGRAMED TEXT.
