This five-part report describes a study of the extent to which the need for child care services prevents women from taking advantage of New York's vocational programs. After Part I provides a project overview, Part II presents the findings of Phase I of the study, during which contact persons at 38 community colleges, 55 Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), and five municipal school districts were surveyed to identify child care resources. This section describes community college child care centers with respect to purpose, population served, service capacity and eligibility, scheduling, licensing, facilities, center establishment, funding, staffing, and incentives and barriers to program continuation. Similar information is than presented for BOCES Child Care Training Labs. Finally, this section assesses institutional awareness of child care needs and interest in meeting them. Parts III and IV of the report describe the methodology and findings of the second phase of the study, during which current and prospective female vocational students with children under 12 were surveyed. In Part IV, after a demographic profile of the respondents is presented, major study variables (i.e., barriers to program access; use of, satisfaction with, and awareness of child care services) are correlated with demographic characteristics. Part V presents conclusions. (AYC)
