This document describes an exemplary project from October 1, 1970 through September 30, 1971 to expand vocational education to the youth and adults in rural Minnesota through the operation of vocational centers designed to serve all secondary schools in Roseau County and in South Central Minnesota. This was viewed as one project although conducted at two different sites. The centers provided vocational courses not available in the county schools to secondary students and also offered vocational courses and in-plant training for community adults. In addition, the centers sponsored a variety of other educational opportunities and vocational guidance efforts for both the students and the adults of the community. Despite problems of bussing, scheduling, and administrative cooperation, the evaluation indicated that most of the objectives of the project were accomplished. Success of the centers was credited to support from community, business, and educational agencies and to the centers' good public relations program. Recommendations for continuation and expansion of the centers and for the establishment of future centers are included. (MF)
