- Summary:
-
As a result of a call by Texas agencies for demonstration programs in regional planning to assist economic development by educating the work force, three models were funded in December 1987, with plans to continue operating through June 30, 1989. One of the projects is being conducted by the Upper Rio Grande Private Industry Council in El Paso for six counties. A second project is being jointly conducted by the Region 20 Education Service Center and the Alamo Private Industry Council in San Antonio for three counties. A third project is being conducted by Northeast Texas Community College in Mount Pleasant for nine counties, and a fourth project is being voluntarily conducted by Interlink in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The sponsoring state agencies learned from these projects that there are three essential prerequisites for successful regional planning: (1) planning regions must be based upon labor market boundaries, and each region must develop a system to collect and analyze occupational supply and demand data; (2) regional planning committees must be representative of a wide spectrum of public and private interests, must have adequate time, and must have staff support; and (3) occupational education and training programs should be based upon current and projected job openings in the labor market. The study concluded that regional planning activities should be designed to build a partnership between education, business, and industry that is based upon their mutual need to train a skilled and educated work force for current and emerging occupations. A map and a list of project directors are appended. (KC)
