Abstract | The general objectives of this study were to (1) develop a methodology whereby needs assessments of vocational and technical education might be conducted efficiently and effectively in all urban areas of Florida, and (2) conduct, using the methodology developed, a needs assessment of the needs of business and industry, students, funding, facilities, and personnel as they relate to vocational education in a selected urban area of Florida. The area chosen for review in the project was Planning Region Four, which consists of seven northeast Florida counties. The methodology developed for the study consisted of a five part procedure: (1) An overall economic analysis of the planning region and its potential for economic and population growth was set forth, (2) alternative methodologies for projecting the demand for labor in a given urban area were developed and tested, (3) a methodology for projecting the supply of labor by occupation for an urban area was developed and tested, (4) procedures were developed for meshing forecasts of occupational demand and supply for urban areas, so that prospective shortages and surpluses of manpower could be readily identified, and (5) extensive field surveys were conducted of the Vocational-Technical Education (VTE) programs, facilities, teachers, students, and administrators. The most important conclusion drawn from the study's field work was the existence of vocational program unevenness within Region Four. Unique results were claimed by the study in three areas. First, the report showed how existing manpower projection techniques for an urban labor market area can be improved, expanded, and made more meaningful for VTE planning. Second, a systematic and comprehensive procedure was developed to project the future supply of labor by occupation. Third, a format was developed to relate occupational supply and demand forecasts to VTE programs codes in a more easily understandable and usable form. (HD) |
