Task force activities in three states regarding Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) and education collaboration activities on three policy issues are summarized. Focus is on three specific issue areas in three states: academic credit for work experience (Maryland), educational components of CETA (Louisiana), and administrative requirements of CETA (Minnesota). The six-step collaborative process used in each state is outlined: problem identification, goal-setting, establishment of time frames, group seeks information, constituency input, and progress report. The specific activities are described together with corresponding outcomes. In addition, the report presents an overview of the governance structure of the education community at the state level and of educational governance of specific CETA-education issues in each of the project states. The information found in the appendixes, amounting to one-half of the report, includes summaries of copies of the products developed by each state (policy statements, state board of education resolutions, position papers, reports, and handbooks) and organization charts and directories of key contacts in the education, employment, and training governance structure in the three project states.
