A study examined the extent and nature of the services provided to in-school limited English proficiency (LEP) youth who were enrolled in Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA)/Youth Employment Training Program (YETP)-vocational education linkage programs in four areas of Illinois. Included among data collection instruments and procedures were (1) a mail survey of six CETA prime sponsors; (2) a telephone survey of districts and local educational agencies (LEAs) having linkage agreements with prime sponsors; (3) three questionnaires and a mail survey administered to CETA prime sponsors, vocational directors, and CETA in-school coordinators; (4) follow-up telephone conversations with CETA prime sponsors; and (5) on-site interviews and visits to five LEAs. Data were collected and analyzed with respect to population served, services provided to LEP students, quality of services provided to LEP students in the linkage program, and prime sponsor activities that foster linkages. Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, a series of recommendations were made calling for action by various departments of the state of Illinois, LEAs and prime sponsors, CETA prime sponsors, universities, and LEP organizations.
