PROGRAM OF THE FLORIDA STATE

BOARD FOR VOCATIONAL EDUCATION FOR

THE FISCAL YEAR 1967-68

Following is a description of the State Board's projected program of vocationaltechnical education for 1967-68. It includes a review of employment opportunities at various skill levels in non-professional sectors of the labor markets and describes projected plans for meeting changing individual occupational needs.

Many data here were supplied in an instrument called the County Program Planning Guide. Guides were received from nearly all counties in the state and were summarised for this report. In addition to providing valuable information to help plan local vocational programs, the guides have furnished information valuable in planning for the development of the state's entire progræ of vocational and technical education.

To study vocational programs and labor markets, the state was divided into six major areas. Areas selected represent major employment districts of the state, and also major marketing areas as defined by the Florida Development Commission. (See attached map showing Areas A-E and major cities and counties in each area.) The vocational programs planned in each area are shown in a separate chart along with an estimate of employment opportunities. It is emphasized that this infornation has been prepared by county vocational personnel and is on file in each county and in the state office. Thus, needed information to plan programs to train people for existing employment opportunities has been produced.

The following counties are included in the respective areas:
