Abstract	A study described the policies and procedures utilized in exemplary adult vocational education programs in five school planning districts in Ohio. The study, which entailed an analysis of programs involving 34,618 students and 832 instructors, focused on program implementation and administration, student goals and outcomes, instructor characteristics, and employer attitudes concerning the programs. All of the planning districts surveyed employed a full-time individual who is responsible for adult programs, utilized craft advisory committees for each adult vocational program, and cooperated extensively with community agencies and local business and industry. Of the instructors interviewed, two-thirds used competency-based educational curricula in their adult classes. While each district provided some counseling and assessment for students, the type and extent of counseling varied from district to district. Nearly two-thirds of the instructors interviewed had over 10 years of related work experience, and many continued to update their occupational and instructional skills by attending workshops and college classes and by working in their trade area during the summer. About half of the adult students examined enrolled during daytime hours, and about 60 percent of them did not pay any program costs. (MN)
