Part 1 of this two-part project assessed the capacity of the state colleges and universities to prepare vocational educators and counselors skilled in vocational guidance. It provided a quantitative analysis of present and needed capacity, a parallel analysis of local district plans for vocational education, and an analysis of occupational trends from national and state sources. Conclusions indicated that colleges and universities train enough counselors, but program standards are not uniform. Teachers need training in guidance skills, and teachers and counselors need to know more about the other's responsibilities. Part 2 surveyed and compared student needs for counseling and vocational guidance services as perceived by students, vocational education instructors, and counselors, and ascertained counselors' needs for professional training. Students indicated a need for help with job placement, courses and grades, and college selection. Professionals felt student needs were in the areas of personal management and interpersonal relationships. Counselors and teachers indicated a need to learn more about special needs students, community resources, job information, and career decision-making skills. Student needs for vocational guidance were frequently found to be inadequately met. (Author/YLB)
