This report explores the extent to which equity in vocational programs is afforded targeted populations in Minnesota--the handicapped and disadvantaged, adults in need of training and retraining, single parents, displaced homemakers, incarcerated criminal offenders, and participants in sex equity programs. Following an introduction, section II considers three aspects of equity: barriers to enrolling, barriers to learning, and outcomes. Section III contains profiles of 11 secondary and postsecondary students who represent the targeted populations. These profiles are either a summary of one individual or a composite of the experiences of more than one student, with a focus on equity issues. Section IV focuses on services that are specifically designated to serve targeted populations or that directly promote equity in vocational education. The services are available within the state system but vary from institution to institution. Section V makes eight recommendations regarding marketing and recruitment, career counseling, job placement services, commitment to serve targeted populations, quality of life and learning, and coordination with other agencies.
