Abstract	This booklet shows how postsecondary institutions can serve economically disadvantaged youth by working with local employment and training agencies. Programs administered by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) are described as well as the students they served. Program goals and services are cited: vocational training, pre-college orientation, basic skills, life skills, and career exploration. Innovative instructional techniques to help disadvantaged youth succeed in the classroom are also listed. A discussion of the crucial role of support examines ways of extending contact with students outside of class and institutional adjustments to meet the needs of disadvantaged students. The importance of linking the classroom to the workplace and of developing worksites is also emphasized. Collaboration between colleges and private industry councils, employment and training agencies, employers, and community-based organizations is examined as a means to gain funding and assistance. Guidelines for developing collaborations are offered. Benefits from FIPSE projects are explored for postsecondary institutions, business and industry, and administrators of federal funds. (YLB)
