An assessment was made of the degree to which a consistent, integrated, and coordinated effort is being made to provide vocational education services in Iowa. To assess the extent of cooperative relationships between selected human service agencies, five field visits were made to meet with representatives of local agencies and service centers across the state. An examination of the state plans of selected state agencies was made to determine the extent to which cooperative agreements are encouraged at the state level. Plans were examined from the perspective of their implementation of the priorities contained in five federal laws (the Vocational Education Act, The Wagner-Peyser Act, the Rehabilitation Act 1973, the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, and WIN). It was determined that a large number of Iowa's citizens are receiving and benefiting from services provided by these manpower agencies. However, a number of improvements in the delivery of employment and training services was suggested. Recommendations included the following: interagency coordination during the planning and delivery stages; development of written inter-agency cooperation agreements where they are lacking; and collection by all agencies of data on population, labor market needs, programmatic projections, and available funds. (Priorities of the five laws mentioned above are appended.) (MN)
