Abstract	A study assessed the need for technology programs in Grant County, Indiana. After compiling background data (population projections for the region, the educational level of adults living in the region, and the number and size of firms located in the area), concerning Grant County and the counties surrounding it, the researchers formulated projected requirements for engineering technicians, computer programmers, and supervisors in the area. Next, these projections were corroborated through interviews with representatives of local industries and appropriate agencies and by comparing the local projections with national employment projections for the same occupations. As a result of an analysis of these data the following actions were recommended: authorization to implement a two-year supervision technology associate degree program in the city of Marion, provision of related adult continuing education and service courses, formation of a supervision technology advisory committee, and implementation of further labor force and training needs studies and plans.
