Abstract	Presented is a report of the CIPHER (College and Industry--Partners in the Handicapped Employment Role) program which involved statewide (New York) conference/workshops and a survey to expose industry and community college groups to the work capabilities, aspirations, and educational needs of disabled students. Information is provided on the three phases of the program involving careers in banking and insurance, health careers, and careers in technology. Summarized in the section on the banking and insurance conference/workshops are typical comments of such persons as bank and insurance representatives, college placement officers, and disabled students regarding personnel needs and requirements. Considered in the section on health careers are such topics as an overview of the job market, technological impact, the impact of government, the perceptions of personnel directors, and the job interview. Described next are the conference workshops and questionnaire responses concerning careers in technology including such aspects as the symbiotic relationship between the community college and industry, on-the-job training and cooperative programs, the advocacy role of the job placement officer, sensitizing the college community to the needs of the disabled, and college programs appropriate for the disabled. Summarized are evaluation results of all three phases of the program which were generally positive with such recommendations as increased emphasis on handicaps other than the "wheelchair bound". Appended are the questionnaires and program agendas. (DB)
