Abstract	To identify major findings, promising developments, strategies, and methodological strengths and weaknesses which exist in curricula designed for training paraprofessional public service workers in the fields of education, social work, law enforcement, and fire fighting, a review and analysis was made of Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) publications and non-ERIC publications. To correct an imbalance of too many low skilled workers and too few skilled workers, educational programs based on occupational analysis and student needs should be devised to prepare low skilled workers for available occupations. Based on projected employment opportunities, primary consideration should be given to programs in social work and law enforcement and then education and firefighting. While curricula and curriculum materials are available for the four fields, improvements are needed and changes will be necessary. To accomplish this, curricula should be developed and evaluated through an educational planning system which involves occupational analysis, program planning, program development and testing, and documentation and dissemination of results. Other improvements will also be needed in the areas of counseling, recruiting students, and expanding present programs. (SB)
