Comprehensive information in the field of vocational education is a necessity for purposes of annual state plans, evaluations, and 5-year projections. All available information about career education in Arizona through mid-1970 has been compiled in this report, and an annual supplement will update it. The report also shows how well the educational system of the state is meeting its responsibility of preparing students for careers below the professional level. For these reasons the report reviews: (1) the legislative history and development of vocational education in Arizona, (2) the school programs at all levels, (3) manpower training and private programs, (4) methods of helping students determine career choice, (5) program planning and budgeting, and (6) research and change. Material in the report was reviewed by the State Department of Education, State Advisory Council, and other agencies and institutions where appropriate, and was useful to the State Advisory Council in preparing its annual report to the Office of Education. Recommendations and conclusions are included, and numerous photographs supplement the text. (CD)
