Project COMPETE (Community-based Model for Public School Exit and Transition to Employment) was a model demonstration project designed to develop linkages between public schools and community rehabilitation agencies, in order to provide work training to severely handicapped youth, aged 16-22. The schools took on responsibility for providing initial work training and work experiences, and the rehabilitation center was made responsible for getting the students/clients ready for competitive employment. In achievement of its objectives, the project developed and validated a service delivery model which linked secondary schools and community-based agencies to prepare severely handicapped youth for successful transition from school to employment, systematically evaluated and revised all components of the model program, replicated the model at an additional site, and disseminated information about the model. This final report discusses achievement of project objectives, client and community demographics, evaluation activities, and case studies. (JDD)
