Part-Time Adult and Employer Evaluation.
Morton, J.B.; And Others
An evaluation study assessed the part-time vocational training courses offered to adults by the Oklahoma State Department of Vocational and Technical Education for training or retraining purposes in order to prepare people for a new occupation. The three objectives were to determine if the present system of gathering followup data is adequate considering cost for methods, to determine from the graduates their evaluation of the program's curriculum, facilities and equipment, instruction, and placement assistance, and to determine from employers their evaluation of the adult students' quality and quantity of work, and the students' skills and abilities in the occupation. The population consisted of all completers enrolled as preparatory students (those training or retraining for a job) in part-time adult classes during fiscal year 1975 (5,673 adults). The survey, based on a stratified random sampling technique, produced 660 questionnaire responses from completers of seven different vocational programs in 45 separate school sites. The employer survey, limited to employers of those completers that were working in the field for which trained, produced 125 questionnaire responses. The dominant conclusion was that most of the students and their employers are very satisfied with part-time adult preparatory training in Oklahoma. Significant results are summarized in six separate sections of the report: Part-time Adult Completers, Employed Part-time Adult Completers, Comparison of Employed Completers Related and Unrelated, Employer Survey, Health Occupations Completers, and Nurse Assistants. Recommendations are included. (WL)
