A study was conducted to identify the different entry level jobs available and to determine the competencies, qualifications, and/or training important for persons seeking employment in clothing apparel and textile service occupations in the State of Wisconsin. The four occupations studied were sewing machine operator, fabric specialist, alterations hand, and laundry and dry cleaners. Four separate questionnaires were designed and sent out to 151 randomly selected companies: 39 laundries and dry cleaners, 35 fabric stores, 32 alterations establishments, and 45 sewing machine operator employers. To obtain information about the personal characteristics desired in employees, 20 professional visits were made to interview five respondents in each of the four job areas. The data obtained from each questionnaire was tabulated, computed, and evaluated separately within each job area, using means, standard deviation, median, and rank order. The four questionnaires are included, as are the task lists with mean frequencies, and recommendations for setting up a clothing service curriculum based on the study's conclusions. (Author/HD)
