Abstract	Data were collected on the training required by people who work with computers, and these data were then used as a basis from which to identify major issues that must be addressed by policymakers concerned with developing computer education and training programs. A total of 196 employers, supervisors, workers, professional societies, unions, schools, training institutions, and computer manufacturers were interviewed to determine what type of training is needed and what type is actually being provided for workers in various occupations. As a result of these interviews, the researchers identified a number of policy issues pertaining to the following areas: the role of schools in computer education, provision of retraining for displaced workers, delivery of training by vendors, choices open to individuals in need of computer education and training, and projected training needs for the future. (This study includes descriptions of 75 occupations requiring computer training and a statistical appendix that compares various bodies of statistics on employment in various computer-using occupations, as well as a six-page list of references.)
