Abstract	Vocational education personnel at twenty secondary high schools and vocational skill centers in Michigan were interviewed to (1) identify vocational educators' perceptions of sex-role stereotyping (SRS) in vocational education, (2) determine whether school personnel had identified effective means of reducing SRS and sex bias in vocational education programs, and (3) determine the current needs of vocational educators concerning the issue of SRS in vocational education programs and services. Perceptions generated from the interviews were compared to the nature and extent of SRS as evidenced in vocational education enrollment data, staffing/structural patterns, and curriculum materials developed for student and teacher use. All role groups identified a need for a collaborative effort among students, parents, and school staff to eliminate SRS in vocational education programs. However, for a majority of the respondents, SRS and sex bias in the schools were not perceived to be a major cause of limited vocational opportunity at the secondary level. Eight recommendations were made for systematic, long-range changes to be instituted within and outside the educational sector to bring about expanded vocational opportunity for secondary students.
