Abstract	This report was designed to measure the effort expended during 1971 toward implementing programs to meet the needs of citizens of Iowa and to supply the State Board of Public Instruction with data, information, and advice to improve career education efforts in the state. Data were obtained primarily from statistics available by the State Department of Public Instruction and the State Auditor's Office, from site visit observations conducted over a 2-year period, and from questionnaire responses by local and area school administrators, instructors, and students. Based on the findings, a number of conclusions were reached, some of which are: (1) Secondary school students seem to have a greater interest in pursuing post-secondary vocational and technical programs in area schools than previously, (2) Future program planning in the vocational and technical area would be enhanced by annual labor market needs surveys, (3) Area community colleges do not have the proper financial commitment to provide strong vocational and technical programs, (4) An imbalance of training effort exists in the seven occupational clusters, (5) Most of the area schools provide academic instruction related to the world of work, and (6) Population trends and the state general aid formula may cause vocational programs to have to be extended to disproportionate lengths.
