Abstract	The Quick Start Training Program is a transitional program that was developed to help the homeless population of El Paso, Texas, become self-sufficient through short-term vocational skills training. The program's occupational training component was designed to meet local training needs and was supplemented with activities to give participants occupational literacy, occupational life skills, job information, job search assistance, and educational counseling. Counseling was provided to 775 individuals, including 514 who participated in some type of educational/job training/employment counseling experience. Of those 514 individuals, 97 were recruited into the Quick Start program and 51 completed it successfully. The program demonstrated its potential to help homeless individuals put their lives in order; however, it also established that homeless people often require an entire package of course work, evaluation, counseling, and life skills and language training. Bilingual education was found to be especially necessary because of El Paso's large Spanish-speaking population. (Appendixes constituting approximately 90% of this document include the following: survey instruments; student recruitment/completion data; course outlines; course evaluations; lists of homeless coalition agencies contacted; publicity flyers; a job search inventory; the table of contents of an English/Spanish job search handbook; minutes of staff meetings; and reports to the homeless coalition.)
