In order to determine the barriers to enrollment in Wisconsin vocational and technical institutes, 440 questionnaires were sent to potential students in the 1975-76 school year; 198 questionnaires were returned, over half from students who had applied but did not attend, for a response rate of 45%. Results of the survey indicated that, overall, job security, need for money, career indecisiveness, and program difficulties were the main barriers to enrollment at vocational-technical schools. Additionally, survey data indicated: (1) respondents had generally positive attitudes toward vocational-technical schools; (2) distance was a barrier to enrollment; (3) females experienced barriers to enrollment as a consequence of the limited number of programs which they perceived as available to them; and (4) financial aid, scheduling, information, and transportation were identified as barriers to enrollment. Recommendations made to reduce enrollment barriers included implementing more flexible instructional schedules, increasing adult counseling, offering more evening courses, encouraging females to participate in non-traditional occupations, increasing efforts in the area of minority recruitment, better dissemination of financial aid information, broadening the base of program offerings, better articulation with high schools, and personalization of the enrollment process. Survey data are included in the report. (JDS)
