The result of a conference on the employment of subprofessionals in human services occupations, this booklet considers the dual role of the schools in both preparing and employing subprofessionals to fill skilled manpower shortages. Noting that New Careers programs fail when administrators and professionals do not accept the subprofessional in a permanent job with career opportunities, the booklet describes the steps necessary to institute a successful program, namely: (1) job design and career development, (2) career ladders in health and education, (3) recruitment, selection, and training, (4) released-time training, and (5) budgeting and planning. This report is based on a full conference report which is available as ED 029 169 (RIE October 1969). (BH)
