As part of an effort to assess the postsecondary educational needs of the community of Apache Junction, surveys were administered to: (1) students in grades 9-12 at Apache Junction High School (N=420) with regard to their educational plans, the postsecondary institutions they anticipated attending, course and program interests of those planning to attend Central Arizona College (CAC), and their image of CAC; (2) permanent residents of Apache Junction (N=100) with respect to their characteristics, their interest in and use of the programs and courses offered in CAC, their interest in courses not offered, and their image of the school; and (3) area employers (N=40) with regard to existing local employment needs and the courses they would like to see provided at CAC. One-half of the students surveyed planned to attend college, most intending to attend Arizona State University. Little interest was shown in attending CAC. On a hypothetical basis, the CAC program selected most frequently was general academic preparation for university transfer. Residents' interest in courses and services was also rather low; the most popular programs were those leading to an associate degree. Of the businesses surveyed, about 45% indicated that there was a problem in filling personnel requirements with qualified employees. A concern with upgrading skills was also revealed. Data tables present the results of the surveys and the instruments are appended. (MB)
