The focus of the report is the presentation of issues associated with the development and implementation of cooperative programs, the absence of policy and a flexible coordinating structure. It is based on a project that was designed to: (1) write guidelines for the development and implementation of cooperative programs; (2) present issues associated with the development and implementation of cooperative programs in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and offer directions for the future; and (3) develop and trial procedures for the establishment of secondary college student program needs. A cooperative program is defined as 'a course, subject or unit of study (or part thereof) provided for students at the level of Year 11 and/or Year 12 secondary schooling for which: (a) a joint credential (from TAFE and secondary) exists or is in the process of being negotiated; and (b) any of the curriculum, resources, teaching inputs or teaching location has been the subject of negotiations between TAFE and Education Authorities, either locally or centrally'.
