This report synthesizes information gathered during the first quarter of a two-year project, which was not refunded, to establish a model for coordinating the planning activities of the three Minnesota agencies involved in offering Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) services. Through a review of literature and personal interviews, the project director proposed a number of linkage activities that could be conducted to tie prime sponsors with the vocational education system and identified barriers to such linkages. Some possible solutions to overcoming the barriers were analyzed along with considerations for building a model program. A bibliography follows. The appendixes, which make up half the document, contain a summary of legislation pertaining to linkages, coordination models, program model descriptions, a suggested outline for CETA, vocational education cooperation, and suggested projects to promote such cooperation. A bibliography is included. (KC)
