The Minnesota State Planning Agency conducted a study in Region 7W, consisting of Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, and Wright counties, to determine the nature and extent of educational programs designed for people who have completed secondary education and which are offered by any institution or agency outside the traditional postsecondary institutional sector. (These agencies included profit and nonprofit business organizations and industries, citizens' associations and interest groups, government agencies, labor unions, trade associations, professional organizations, private social welfare organizations, public secondary schools, regional associations and commissions, and religious organizations.) Further, the study was designed to identify and describe the major educational networks providing such educational programs. Findings showed that of the over 23,321 people in Region 7W who were served in 460 different educational offerings lasting three hours or longer and of an occupational or intellectual nature, most lived in or near the cities of St. Cloud and Buffalo, were between the ages of 22 and 45, were female (approximately 75%), possessed a high school diploma, had some postsecondary education or training, and belonged to the middle socioeconomic group. This summary report, in addition to an overview of the study, includes major findings resulting from sectoring according to the content of educational offerings, major findings resulting from sectoring according to the type of education provided, a discussion of the general implications of the findings, and an appendix containing selected graphs and charts.
