Adult Vocational Education Follow Through. A System for Participant Feedback for Decision Makers. Final Report.
White, Thomas R.
The objectives of this project were (1) to develop participant feedback materials that can be used by local adult vocational education (AVE) administrators for program planning, implementation, and evaluation and (2) to determine why participants enroll in AVE programs. A follow-up survey which contained key items from the follow-through system surveys was developed. This instrument was field tested on former AVE participants in four Indiana school systems to determine its feasibility for conducting a state-wide base line survey of adult vocational education. The pilot study indicated that most adults do not enroll in AVE programs to learn basic skills and knowledge for securing immediate employment. Research showed that participants enroll in AVE programs for a diversity of purposes: to upgrade previous training or to learn basic skills and knowledge in order to secure a job, to change jobs either in relation to immediate or future employment, to prepare for entry into advanced training programs, to explore careers, or to pursue a leisure interest. (The following AVE participants feedback system products are included: a sample registration form, an in-program survey, an exit survey, and a participant employer post program survey.) (Author/CSS)
