A descriptive study of vocational-technical education was conducted to determine (1) offerings presently available, (2) how the program is administered and conducted, (3) the objectives of present offerings, (4) which students benefit from a more complete program, and (5) the employment opportunities open to graduates. Tables present federal and state reimbursements for 1960-61 to 1967-68, and a summary chart shows program objectives, offerings, facilities, and student enrollments. Career interest forms were administered to 916 students in grades 7 through 12. Findings were: (1) A majority of career choices were made in grades 7, 8, and 9, (2) Students respected help and guidance of parents and would benefit from additional vocational guidance services, (3) Many students envisioned an immediate entry into work and into higher education, and (4) One-third of the students would attend a local vocational-technical school if offered the opportunity. The school dropout rate was determined to be 2.7 percent with about 15 percent being students of above average ability. It was recommended that: (1) occupational advisory committees be utilized, (2) the vocational guidance program be given increased emphasis, (3) the work experience program be expanded, (4) in-depth followup of graduates and dropouts be initiated, and (5) additional effort be made in the adult education and post-high school areas.
