Abstract	This study attempted to identify the orientation procedures which contribute to helping high school students become acquainted with the vocational-technical institutes (VTIs) in Maine. To accomplish this objective a number of school counselors at 19 high schools and the VTI personnel at the six VTIs in the State were interviewed and a random sample of 10% of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students and 1400 VTI students were surveyed. The VTI student survey gathered data about sources of information influencing choice of VTIs and the value of these sources. The high school students were surveyed concerning awareness of the VTIs in Maine and information sources contributing to that awareness. Interviews with counseling and VTI personnel sought opinions and suggestions about orientation procedures. As a result of the surveys, a series of suggestions concerning orientation procedures are offered for school counselors and post high school personnel to enhance a cooperative effort. The results are presented and analyzed and a summary statement is provided. It is noted that although several influential sources were more frequently cited than others, the general conclusion was that no single procedure constitutes orientation. The report includes a bibliography and sample survey instruments. (NJ)
