Job Training Placement for Retarded Youth

Abstract
A survey was made to determine the types of jobs to which educable retarded youth were assigned for on-the-job training. It was based on the first year operation of the Texas state-wide Cooperative Program of Special Education-Vocational Rehabilitation in the public schools. Data received from 60 percent of the participating school districts provided information concerning 436 pupils who were assigned to 99 different jobs. The jobs were distributed among ten categories and one miscellaneous group. Findings of this study suggest diverse job training opportunities for educable retarded youth.
