This first phase of the 1970 Survey of Alberta Manpower Development deals with the Alberta, Canada manpower supply and the capacity of the major post-secondary educational institutions in the province to provide that supply. A count of those graduating in 1970 with a post-secondary degree or certificate, was obtained by means of mail questionnaires and interviews. Intended to provide both general and specific information for the Master Planning Project of the Alberta Colleges Commission, major findings include: (1) Twice as many college graduates in natural sciences, engineering, and mathematics are needed immediately and four to six times as many technicians in these areas, (2) Many more graduates in human services, the arts, and recreation are needed, (3) There were 13,768 graduates at the post-secondary level, in addition to 807 university completions and 4,051 licensed by regulatory bodies but not trained in Alberta, (4) Physical facilities provide 1,884,040 square feet of instructional area with 66,835 classroom and laboratory student stations, and (5) 71 percent of the $133,976,000 expended was utilized by the universities, 15 percent by the technical institutes, 7 percent by the colleges, and the rest in other vocational programs. Numerous tables present the data. (AG)
