Vocational education services provided to Navajo people are examined in this study. Three major purposes are presented: to develop a complete picture of vocational education programs offered to Navajos, and determine whether funds are allocated in an equitable manner; to identify where critical decisions concerning vocational education programs are made; and to analyze existing vocational education services in relation to job opportunities presently available. Chapter I provides an overview of the problems of the Navajo Nation. Chapter II describes the Federal Vocational Education Act of 1963 and emphasizes funding allocation criteria. Chapter III examines federal and state funding to secondary level vocational education in Arizona and New Mexico, and chapter IV describes vocational education funding and decision making in the postsecondary institutions on or near the reservation. Chapter V deals with CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) funds for the Navajo people. Chapter VI examines vocational education in the Bureau of Indian Affairs; chapter VII analyzes Navajo vocational education programs versus labor market needs; chapter VIII describes in detail provisions regarding Indians in recently passed vocational education legislation; and chapter IX summarizes the findings of the study and makes specific recommendations to each of the key agencies (federal, state, local, and tribal).
