This final report describes the Skills Conversion Project conducted by The National Society of Professional Engineers under contract to the Department of Labor to study methods of utilizing the large pool of highly skilled unemployed technicians and professional personnel who were formerly employed in the aerospace and defense industries. If coordinated government and industrial efforts are begun immediately for vocational retraining, 7,000 persons could make this job transition on a pilot basis, and 47,000 professionals could be transferred to public service or private industry jobs by the end of 1975.
