- Summary:
-
The study described in this document was conducted to identify the development and implementation issues surrounding the concept of integrating employer-specific education-for-work capabilities into Minnesota vocational education. The methodology of the study was as follows: (1) establish a small stakeholder group that represents constituencies with a stake in the research outcome (vocational education administrators, higher education officials, and business and industry representatives); (2) in collaboration with this group, identify profile-specific individuals to be interviewed and conduct interviews; and (3) interpret and analyze data. Issues identified through the study include the following: fiscal resources and management; program service profile and capabilities; supporting organizations and administrative structures; professional development, qualifications, and selection; evaluation of program and professional activities; the vocational education program role in larger economic strategies; and equity and access considerations. These issues were considered by the individuals contacted; their comments and reactions are profiled in the numerous tables in this document. The study concluded that more research and evaluation of programs and philosophies will be necessary to help the United States move into the role of a post-industrial society. References, figures, and an extensive number of tables are included. The appendixes provide information on the role of stakeholders as well as interview questions and materials for the stakeholders.
