This article summarizes data gathered on 15 paraprofessional training programs sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Data on the backgrounds of trainees working as paraprofessionals are presented along with a breakdown of the kinds of tasks in which they are employed, as well as characteristics linked with ratings of success and retention in the programs. Trainees tended to be employed in a wide variety of tasks, often at rather sophisticated levels. Analysis of the tasks indicates that projects are fulfilling the NIMH New Careers goal of contributing to greater community impact in mental health. Results corroborate earlier findings that para professionals have been accepted both by professionals and clients.
