- Summary:
-
Results of a study of apprenticeship programs, which provide related educational instruction, sponsored by the Kalamazoo Public Schools are presented. The study contains four sections. The first section includes a description of the nature of apprenticeship training, the role and status of apprenticeship training in Kalamazoo, and an analysis of current levels of minority participation. Information included in the second section pertains primarily to methods of recruiting apprentice candidates, entry requirements, and selection procedures for different trades in the Kalamazoo area. The barriers to increased minority participation are detailed in Section III. Assessments and recommendations are given in detail in Section IV. The central theme of the recommendations is the importance of security positive action by all groups associated in any manner with local apprenticeship training programs to increase minority participation in these programs. Recommendations that pertain to the school system's vocational education programs emphasize that the availability of quality vocational education programs can lead to increased employment and training opportunities for minorities in the apprenticeable trades, as well as to a wider range of alternative career opportunities for all students.
