- Summary:
-
New Hampshire's system of postsecondary vocational-technical education developed toward the end of World War II when it was realized that many of the military personnel soon to be demobilized would need retraining for civilian life. Two trade schools, one in Portsmouth and the other in Manchester, were established in 1945. Today, that system has grown to seven institutions, the New Hampshire Technical Institute, and six New Hampshire Vocational-Technical Colleges. In 1949 the original two trade schools became known as the New Hampshire Technical Institutes and a great many incremental changes were made, all tending toward more theoretical work and less work in the shop area. To relieve overcrowding in the system, the New Hampshire State Legislature authorized the development of five vocational institutes and one technical institute in 1961. By the end of the sixties these schools were well established, with good placement rates and average starting salaries for graduates. Vocational-technical colleges were established at Berlin, Claremont, Laconia, and Nashua. By 1975, the system had developed into its present form, offering programs to train technicians, tradespersons, businesspersons, and health care specialists. (Appendixes to this report include a statistical overview of New Hampshire's postsecondary system as of 1981 and a list of the system's administrators.) (MN)
