Abstract	Implementation and expansion of class offerings was the primary focus of the second year of a project (in Evansville, Indiana) to determine the feasibility of establishing a center for continuing education for vocational level health occupations workers within the department of vocational education of a metropolitan school corporation. (The first year activities primarily concerned identification of needs, establishment of tentative administrative guidelines, and initiation of one new program.) Developing program curriculum content and activities according to established guidelines and criteria for accredited continuing education offerings was also emphasized in the second year along with refinement of administrative guidelines and improved communications to and from teachers. Programs for offering were selected on the basis of need as indicated from a survey conducted the first year of the project. Since the second year involved implementation, no research was conducted. Program effectiveness was perceptually evaluated by participants, instructors, and advisory committee members. A total of 201 students were enrolled in nine class offerings and community acceptance was perceived as favorable. An increasing number of employers paid or at least reimbursed participants' tuition costs. This report includes brief statements about conclusions, recommendations, and evaluation plans. The appendixes, which cover the majority of the document, present course descriptions for the courses offered during the project's second year. (SH)
