To develop a practical vocational program in a junior college, this study specifically examined previous research on service-learning that demonstrated effective results in linking the classroom and the community and which improved the learners' autonomous activities in the academic field and the social field. The activities' basic structure and design guidelines were developed in reference to those service-learning findings. The targeted course exploited the activities and guidelines to improve a project in which students produce papers for public relations. The reported levels of reflection by the students were used to evaluate the course design. Results show that course design based on service-learning for a vocational context is effective to promote reflection and continuing learning activities. Results of this study are expected to contribute to higher education focused on vocational and career education.
