The Role of Vocational Education in the Economic Development of Rural Areas: Implications for Research and Development. Occasional Paper No. 62.
Lund, Duane R.
Focusing on vocational education as a facilitator of rural economic development, the author of this paper discusses how to develop a rural community that will attract new jobs. His discussion includes the following key points: the role of local development corporations; concerns about quality of living for employees; encouragement of home-grown industries to expand; and the importance of agriculture. Implications for research are summarized. Finally, the author presents a case study based on the experiences of the rural community of Staples, Minnesota. (BM)
