Abstract	This technical assistance guide is intended to aid teachers and trainers in Job Training Partnership Act Service Delivery Area (SDA) summer programs that are components of work force skill development programs for youths. It is aimed especially at SDAs that either are experiencing or anticipating resistance to change from their organizations, worksites, or education agencies. The guide provides insight into and practical guidance on the change process and capacity-building in the context of summer enrichment programs. The first of six chapters provides a basic understanding of change agency, or the process for orchestrating organizational change by establishing a community work group, evaluating the climate for change, and facilitating support and consensus among community partners. Chapter 2 helps the change agent market and promote summer enrichment through basic marketing techniques. Chapters 3 and 4 address capacity-building in order that employers and schools can implement the changes represented by enriched summer programs incorporating integrated work and learning, active learning, competency-based instruction, and skills identified by the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills. Chapter 5 considers program models that allow SDAs to implement enriched summer programs when support from worksites or schools is limited. The final chapter helps readers devise a means for collecting data that can be used to convince community partners of the value of a summer enrichment program. An appendix provides a handbook of interactive skills for change agents. Topics covered by the handbook include the following: "do's" and "don'ts" for effective change agents, basic communication skills, nonverbal communication, giving and receiving feedback, conducting effective briefings, running effective meetings, and facilitating focus groups.
