The objective of the Pennsylvania longitudinal vocational development study was to produce and disseminate vocational development research to vocational directors and counselors to help them have an impact on vocational guidance and job placement activities. Ministudies were conducted using previously collected data relating in-school student and program data to out-of-school success and satisfaction. Findings from the studies were written in eight monthly reports (which are appended), from October 1975 through May 1976, and sent to all area vocational-technical schools as well as selected university and State education personnel. The ministudy dealt with such topics as student experiences with high school, job, and college; success after high school as measured by job status, salary, and college achievement; sex and curriculum differences related to success and satisfaction; and several other issues. Although school personnel offered lip service concerning the usefulness of this type of research, no invitations were received to visit schools and help school personnel to use the results of the research, so the extent to which the impact part of the objective was met is questionable.
