Abstract	The public community colleges and area vocational schools in Kansas have expanded their offerings beyond the usual one- and two-year programs of study to provide customized vocational training for business and industry. The vocational training may involve courses and programs of study designed specifically for a particular business or individual employee or group employees. It may also consist of the adaptation of existing courses and programs of study to particular economic development needs. During the 1987-88 school year, the community colleges and vocational schools: (1) served 1,161 businesses and 44,491 employees with credit courses and noncredit services; (2) provided an average of 1,314.16 hours of vocational training to each business/industry for a total of 1,525,735 hours of training; (3) offered 406,552 hours of customized training to 25 business and 1,489 employees through the Kansas Industrial Training Program; (4) offered over 3,762 courses in 269 programs; (5) served 5% more employees than in 1986-87; and (6) provided an average of 34 hours of instruction to each employee served. The bulk of this report consists of appendixes that provide a partial listing of the vocational training activities of each college and vocational-technical school, a list of customized and specialized training programs, instructions for reporting economic development activities, and the fiscal year 1989 goals of the Kansas State Department of Education.
