Specific study objectives included the following: (1) to review results of efforts both nationally and in Illinois to meet the vocational needs of adult and juvenile offenders; (2) to conduct a survey of 23 correctional institutions offering vocational programs; (3) to follow up a selected sample of ex-offenders to identify their attitudes toward the type of vocational education programs or ancillary service development. The primary data-gathering instrument was a questionnaire, which was sent to residents, vocational instructors, administrative staff, vocational counselors, and correctional counselors at the institutions. In addition, further information was obtained through onsite visits. The overall conclusion of the report is that a complete vocational process, from intake and diagnosis to placement, followup, and feedback should be designed and implemented. The questionnaire, analysis of each questionnaire item, and analysis of open-ended questions are appended. Tables and a bibliography are provided.
