Vocational education opportunities in Montana

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to give a comprehensive look at the vocational educational opportunities in Montana. By developing and compiling a list of all institutions and agencies offering training, it is anticipated that this study can provide a reference that can be utilized by counselors for prospective vocationally oriented students. This study also covers areas of educational opportunities for the unemployed and underemployed segment of our work force. A questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was designed and sent to senior colleges, junior colleges, vocational-technical centers, private schools and hospitals offering vocational training. Personal interviews were conducted with the AFL-CIO, Apprenticeship Program in Montana, Bureau of Indian Affairs Programs, the Montana State Employment Service and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Information from the questionnaires, interviews, and materials requested by the questionnaire was used to compile the lists of schools and information pertaining to the various schools and programs.
