The document is one of five summary reports, all part of a Pre-Technical Curriculum Planning Project for secondary students who aspire to technical employment or post secondary technical education. This report represents the results of an assessment of the northeast Florida area's technical occupations in public and social services. A three-phase approach was utilized: (1) the identification of three broad career clusters in social services, education, and police service; (2) development of a survey instrument; and (3) a review of data collected. The following occupations are analyzed according to tasks and corresponding skills/knowledges: rehabilitation technicians and administrators, social work assistants, family service occupations, child care specialists, teaching assistants, teachers, educational administrators, patrolmen, correctional officers, and police supervisors. Employment statistics and projections, conclusions and recommendations complete the document. (MW)
