A study was undertaken to identify (1) the number and types of cooperative vocational education programs offered by postsecondary institutions to students in Colorado and (2) the variables that affect these programs. A two-part survey was conducted at forty-four postsecondary public institutions which included community-junior colleges, area vocational-technical schools, and local school districts with adult vocational education programs. The first part was mailed to the administrators of these institutions while part 2 was sent to the cooperative vocational coordinators. The findings were these: (1) There is an increase in the number of students enrolled in cooperative vocational education programs at the postsecondary level in Colorado; (2) heavy teaching load, insufficient coordinating time, and distance the coordinator must travel are the major problems identified by coordinators; (3) a breakdown in communications within institutions and within the state was a major problem in gathering valid data; (4) the lack of agreement on terminology is a significant factor in communications breakdown; (5) the current full-time equivalent student (FTE) funding is a determent to the expansion and implementation of cooperative education programs; and (6) conferences and workshops have brought about a nucleus of well-informed leaders within the state to promote cooperative education at the postsecondary level.
