Abstract	Three hundred and forty individuals, employed at 32 randomly selected human service agencies, completed a questionnaire to determine the educational needs of an estimated 3,000 employees of 159 human service agencies in the four county Capital District of New York State. Analysis of the data indicated that human service agency personnel in the Capital District (1) are typically younger than 40 years of age, (2) are two-thirds female, (3) graduated from college within the past 10 years, and (4) are highly motivated to enroll in continuing education courses, particularly those which are scheduled one night per week. The Respondent Profile is presented in Tables 1 through 6, and data on Interest and Participation in Continuing Education in Tables 7 through 14. Tables 15 through 21 identify skill areas in which human service agency personnel would like to take courses, the times and location at which they would like to take them, how much they would be willing to pay for them, and a variety of additional data.
