The combined effort to first orient, and then place, 185 unemployed aerospace professionals into state and local government jobs is analyzed. Twelve months after placement activities commenced, 80% of the program participants are reported as now employed, with 70% employed in state/local jurisdictions. Previous decision making experience by the participant seems to be a principal requisite for successful career transfer. Local government administrative innovations also appear to foster successful transfer for ex-aerospace personnel. Follow-up interviews after six and nine months of placement indicate how most of the trainees have adapted to a new environment and how their skills can be transferred from the private to the public sector. The one month orientation period at Berkeley is seen as an important service to the participants in assisting their career transfer.
