Abstract	This plan for implementing the redesign and refocus of vocational education in West Virginia includes a mission statement and five other major sections covering career orientation, secondary vocational education, adult education, modernization, and personnel development. The career orientation program includes developmental guidance, student assessment, exploratory courses, and development of a four-year educational plan. This section recommends changes in state policy to require that developmental guidance be a formal class and that nine-week exploratory courses be offered in four discipline areas with each student being required to take two. Secondary vocational education classes are to be based upon a common core of basic skills, are to encourage students to enroll in applied and related academic courses, are to promote higher academic expectations, and are to provide an option of certification. The plan recognizes the responsibility for providing adults with training opportunities in both day and evening programs. Specific goals have been established to improve access and increase the number of adults served. Additional staffing and development of a 13th-year program are also a part of the plan. The plan's proposed updating and modernization will span all levels and all programs within vocational education to foster staff development and reflect the changing opportunities and requirements of the workplace.
