A project was conducted to recommend the acquisition and installation of state-of-the-art computer laboratories, software, and teacher training that will better prepare students in Delaware for employment in information processing occupations. Four major activities were undertaken: (1) a survey of 1,426 Delaware office workers to determine the computer hardware and software being used by and skill requirements for entry-level office workers; (2) a survey of 31 comprehensive high school and area vocational schools to determine the type and number of computers in the business department and the computer applications integrated in each business course; (3) the formation of a steering/technology committee to review the survey results and any proposals; and (4) the formation of a task force of business teachers, business and industry representatives, computer specialists, and school and state administrators to discuss labor market needs in office occupations and propose information processing methodology and instructional activities. As a result of the study, recommendations were made for hardware and software purchase. Specific recommendations and budgets for these purchases were drawn up for comprehensive and vocational high schools. (Appendices include lists of hardware and software used in businesses and high schools and proposed curriculum sequences for data processing occupations.) (KC)
