Abstract	This document reports on the development and implementation of a program at the Community College of Baltimore (CCB) whose primary goals were the placement of persons with epilepsy in jobs or in educational programs leading to a career, and development of a model program of career education, counseling, and employer education demonstrating the effectiveness of a coordinated approach to the person with epilepsy which could be distributed throughout Maryland and the other states. Participant agencies involved in the program were the John F. Kennedy Institute, the Maryland Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and Division of Vocational-Technical Education, and CCB. Participants in the program were recruited from a variety of areas through use of several media. The program approach emphasized active recruitment of those with epilepsy, a liberal intake policy of evaluation and selection of recruits, supportive counseling, pragmatic job training, sensitive referral and placement, and intensive follow-up procedures. Further, CCB attempted to maximize vocational siklls, provide a two-year college education, and help to develop job opportunities. Analysis and discussion of recruitment, selection, involvement, student goals, counseling, job referral, student progress, follow-up information, ancillary program support activities, and individual case histories are included.
