Hawaii Annual Performance Report for Vocational Education: 1993-1994. For the Vocational Education State-Administered Program under the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act of 1990.
Hawaii State Board for Vocational Education, Honolulu.; Hawaii State Dept. of Education, Honolulu. Office of the Director for Vocational Education.
During the 1993-94 program year, enrollment in secondary and postsecondary vocational education (VE) programs in Hawaii totaled 20,788 and 8,645, respectively. VE services were provided primarily through Hawaii's 39 public secondary schools, 7 public community colleges, and the University of Hawaii Community Colleges Employment Training Center. VE program development and improvement efforts in 1993-94 were directed toward meeting the national objectives of VE enumerated in the 1990 Perkins Act and thus focused on the following: statewide planning and leadership activities; secondary, postsecondary, and adult VE programs; single parents/displaced homemakers programs; sex equity programs; and programs for criminal offenders. Substantial efforts were again made in the development of tech-prep. Curriculum development efforts at the secondary level focused on making course work more "applied" in nature and on integrating academic and vocational/occupational instruction. In 1993-94, 43 employers in Hawaii's tourist industry were interviewed regarding their satisfaction with provision of VE in Hawaii, and 101 VE students were surveyed regarding their plans/aspirations and satisfaction with VE. The employers and students alike appeared highly satisfied with Hawaii's VE program. (Appended are secondary and postsecondary statistical summaries.) (MN)
