Kuchinke, K. Peter; Brown, James M.; Anderson, Howie; Hobson, Joseph
Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, v36 n1 p79-98 Fall 1998

Applied skills needed more remediation than academic skills. Employers expected return on investment in terms of profitability, productivity, and flexibility. Some workers were affected by negative past schooling experiences. (SK)
