The Center for Studies in Vocational and Technical Education which was established at the University of Wisconsin in the fall of 1964 under a five-year grant from the Ford Foundation, examines, evaluates, and furthers the development of the nation's system of occupational education by means of interdisciplinary research, graduate study, conferences, the establishment of a national depository of reference materials, and the dissemination of publications resulting from research and conferences. This report contains summaries of a number of interdisciplinary research projects which have reached the publication stage as well as notes on research in progress. Reports on the following conferences are given: North American Conference on Cost-Benefit Analysis of Manpower Politics, Leadership Conference for Administrators of Post High Vocational and Technical Education, and Vocational Education and Training under a Comprehensive Manpower Policy.
