Results of questionnaire submitted to employer involved in the cooperative office program of Columbia Falls High

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to survey the ideas or opinions of the employers who employ students from the cooperative office program at Columbia Falls High School. Does the related class of instruction fulfill the needs of the student on the job? What do employers expect of students on the job? Is this program of any value to the employers as a whole? What changes need to be made to make the students more valuable to the employer? One of the main reasons for organizing the cooperative office program was the fact that funds were available for reimbursable programs. Now that this program is functioning smoothly it is necessary to determine if the program is of benefit to the community. A good program that is of benefit to all concerned will generally remain funded either locally or federally. It may in turn provide other ecucational opportunities when needed. Therefore, a study of the cooperative office program and a survey of all training sponsors to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the program is the purpose or this study.
