Getting It All Together; The 1974 Annual Evaluation of Vocational Education in Nebraska.

Overview & Synopsis

The Fifth Annual Evaluation of Vocational Education in Nebraska, prepared by the Nebraska Advisory Council for Vocational Education for the Period July 1, 1973, through June 30, 1974, reviews progress and makes recommendations in the areas of four State priorities and three major goals: (1) State goals and priorities, (2) serving people and their needs, and (3) the extent to which previous recommendations have received due consideration. The first section considers a concept of career education; existing facilities and services in meeting vocational education needs; limiting factors to the growth of vocational education; vocational education and the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973; and the responsibilities of secondary and postsecondary vocational education. The second section presents vocational student activities; local vocational education advisory committees; priorities for development of professional personnel for vocational education; serving the disadvantaged; and placement of vocational education program completions. The third section discusses action taken on previous Council recommendations and notes areas where significant accomplishments were recorded. Data on vocational education teachers, placement, employment, and enrollment status are presented in four tables. An 11-item bibliography and appendixes on vocational education enrollments and total expenditures conclude the report. (NH)
