Abstract	The report presents abstracts of 29 research studies which were designed to identify labor market requirements and evaluate vocational educational programs in the Wisconsin Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education System (VTAE). The studies were designed to answer the following questions: (1) What skills, knowledges, and competencies are important in the performance of an employee as perceived by the employee and by the employer? (2) To what extent are the present training programs meeting requirements? (3) What changes are needed to update the present programs? Based on these questions, surveys and interviews of former VTAE students and employers were conducted. The results of the surveys were reviewed in workshops by program instructors and supervisory staff and changes were incorporated into the curriculums. Findings are included for general education programs and for the occupational areas of agriculture, business and office, distributive, health, home economics, and trade and industrial. In addition, special studies were conducted to ascertain needs of disadvantaged and handicapped groups as well as overall manpower opportunities. (KH)
