A survey of attitudes and perceptions of employers in Baker, Montana toward selected aspects of cooperative education

Abstract

The educational effectiveness of cooperative education programs is dependent upon the participation of the employers. In order to improve the participation of the employers and the relationship between the school and the employers, this study was designed to answer the following questions: 1. How many sales-related jobs are available to cooperative education students? 2. Do employers have a positive perception of the cooperative education program? 3. What types of training do employers find desirable for entry-level employees?
