This project developed and tested the feasibility of a cooperative educational model for the urban Indian in a community college setting. Recruitment and identification of participating students were conducted by a task force through contact with Indian organizations, churches, and informally. The report includes a discussion of the importance of counseling, the special problems facing the Indian student, and the response of some of the Dallas area employers. Included also is a brief general description of the employment status and career goals of the students as well as a profile of American Indian students in the Dallas County Community College District colleges. Based on the stated needs of the Indian students and of those who expressed interest in more education, the following prescriptions were developed for a model: (1) The work experience should be a paying job equal to an entry-level position, (2) the course work should be flexible enough to allow adaptation to work schedule, (3) all co-op activities should be coordinated, and (4) the program should contain a career exploration component.
