| Abstract: | These materials have been developed by Project CREATE (Cooperative Resources to Enhance Access to Jobs through Technical Education), a demonstration program designed to develop a network, specific activities, and resources that would provide education and support services to a wide audience. A 13-page final report describes the hands-on training in metalworking, automotive repair, printing and graphics, and computerized numerical control (CNC); resource, curriculum, and staff development; skills assessment survey; and conference activities. These training materials were provided in the document: training course outlines for automotive, machining, and printing/graphic arts; evaluation forms and data tables; and automotive pretests, posttests, chapter tests, and answer keys in English and Spanish. These resources follow: Coordinated Training Agreements in metalworking and printing; skills survey for printing, automotive, and machining trades in English/Spanish; and copies of the newsletter, ACCESS. The next section contains the report of the conference, "Opening Doors in the Nineties: Workers, Skills, and Diversity," which brought together over 125 representatives from education, employment and training, government, community-based organizations, labor, and industry. Included in the document is an independent evaluation that sees the value of the project as a model for a community-based institution that coordinates and provides leadership in the area of vocational training. A curriculum for CNC repair is also provided. (YLB) |
