Abstract	This document presents the major findings from a study of vocational training and other employment-related services for adults and out-of-school youth with limited English proficiency (LEP). An introduction describes the study and its purposes. Chapter 2 presents estimates and projections of the LEP population to the year 2000 and describes this group in terms of their English proficiency, race/ethnicity, age, education, year of immigration, geographic distribution and urbanicity, labor force status, income and earnings, type of household, and whether or not they are native born. Chapter 3 describes models of vocational training, addressing the language, vocational, and support services components. Chapter 4 presents the findings from six case studies conducted to examine services and policies concerning the provision of services to LEP adults in Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and Texas. Chapter 5 offers conclusions and recommendations regarding the federal role, services needed, populations and geographic areas to target, the distribution of funds, and eligibility for services.
