Abstract	To improve vocational educational programs in agriculture, occupational information on a common core of basic skills within the occupational area of the buildings and grounds foreman is presented in the revised task inventory survey. The purpose of the occupational survey was to identify a common core of basic skills which are performed and are essential for success in the occupation. Objectives were accomplished by constructing an initial task inventory to identify duty areas and task statements for the occupation. The initial task inventory was reviewed by consultants in the field, and 107 tasks were identified. A random sample of 48 parks and recreation departments based on the directory of the Ohio Parks and Recreation Association was obtained. Data were collected utilizing an employee questionnaire. Thirty questionnaires were returned of which 27 were usable. A compilation of basic sample background information is presented on total work experience, employment at current job, and preparation as a buildings and grounds foreman. A compilation of duty areas of work performed and work essential for the occupation is given. Percentage performance by incumbent workers and the average level of importance of specific task statements are presented in tabular form. (Author/EC)
