Abstract	A practicum was developed at Cherokee High School (Georgia) for providing equal opportunities for mildly handicapped students to gain competencies necessary to succeed and advance in a chosen occupation. The curriculum involved the following: the high school principal (responsible for developing and implementing the program); vocational specialist (responsible for managing the existing school and community resources and formulating the interdisciplinary program); the interdisciplinary team (with each member responsible for identifying and designing the curriculum in his individual discipline); public relations (responsible for developing awareness, creating enlightenment, and stimulating involvement); the 16 students (meeting criteria which included inability, because of handicaps, to succeed in regular vocational programs); scheduling in the vocational education awareness program; counseling of the students and parents by the vocational specialist; placement of the students in a personalized program; the instructional program made up of instructional options which included skill training, fulltime employment, and placement in sheltered workshops; and a training plan for each student which outlined tasks and expectations. Measures of students' attendance, grades, personal qualities, employment, and occupational task performance supported the effectiveness of the curriculum. (SBH)
