Abstract	The South Jersey Outreach, Counseling and Training Project was initiated by the Glassboro State College Office of Adult Continuing Education on September 23, 1985. The purpose of the project was to provide outreach, counseling, and in some cases training to single parents and homemakers in Gloucester, Camden, and Cumberland counties (New Jersey). Thirteen persons were trained as phototypesetters. Nine additional persons participated in a focused counseling/computer orientation program. The remainder of the participants were referred to training/educational programs at area colleges and Job Training Partnership offices. Each participant was administered an interest inventory in addition to skills identification and values clarification exercises. Results were discussed individually and were used to help develop Individualized Education Plans. The program was evaluated to determine the effectiveness of training and the benefits of counseling and assessment. The follow-up study conducted during June and July of 1986 indicated that the program was successful in meeting and surpassing its counseling goal. A majority of participants thought that the training had made them more confident, aware of their goals, and able to find job openings or change careers. In the training component, only four of the participants who completed the course were employed full-time, four were actively seeking work, and five were either not working or not seeking employment for personal reasons. It was recommended that in future programs, commitment from participants to full-time work should be sought before training. In addition, long-term follow-up studies should be conducted to see if more of the participants find work and how they fare on the job. (Author/KC)
