| Abstract | A study examined the relationship between students' participation in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) and their mastery of personal development skills. A secondary purpose was to collect baseline data for VICA in West Virginia. A three-part questionnaire was administered to all 156 VICA members who attended the Annual West Virginia VICA State Conference in March 1995. The questionnaire was structured to collect biographical information about respondents, assess their personal development skills, and determine their level of VICA participation. The results were subjected to statistical analysis. Ninety-six percent of the respondents were white, 71% were female, 33% had been VICA members for 2 or more years, and 66% were enrolled in the secondary VICA program. A low positive relationship was discovered between level of VICA participation and perceived development of cooperation (r = .28), and a negligible positive relationship was found between level of VICA participation and perceived development of self-confidence (r=.13). It was recommended that West Virginia's State Department of Education take the following actions: increase VICA participation rates among minority students; provide more training to enhance VICA members' leadership skills; and give students opportunities to serve in leadership positions in nonvocational organizations.
