This resource guide provides practical information to educators directly involved with vocational education for the limited-English-proficient (LEP) population. Part I describes the nine major features of promising vocational education programs for LEP students: program approach, program duration, institutional support, staff commitment, vocational English as a second language (VESL), bilingual support, counseling and guidance, job development and job placement, and adaptation of existing courses and support services. Part II suggests specific practices for the effective operation of vocational education programs for LEP persons. They concern these eight areas identified as being of critical importance: intake, student orientation, student assessment and placement, VESL curriculum development, VESL instruction, counseling and guidance, job development, and job placement.
