This technical assistance guide suggests strategies for achieving success in all aspects of follow-up of literacy/employment training program participants. A brief section is devoted to the importance of setting standards for follow-up. The manual then discusses implementation strategies for each of the three aspects of follow-up: tracking for statistical and funding purposes; extending services for graduates; and involving graduates in ongoing program activities. Uses of follow-up data are addressed, and ways in which a program can stay in contact with participants after graduation are suggested. Some graduate activities are described that can ease the transition into job search, employment, or further education and reinforce program contact necessary for collecting follow-up data on retention. Roles that graduates can fill are also suggested, including acting as role models, becoming part of a mentor program, recruiting new participants, delivering testimony at public or legislative hearings, contributing financially, working as instructors or staff, and being on the board of directors or advisory board. A section on staffing considers the alternatives of designation of responsibility to all staff or to specific staff. A final section on funding emphasizes the importance of building in funding for follow-up activities. (YLB)
