One- to four-page summaries are presented of fifty-five of the 1976 annual reports of the State Advisory Councils on Vocational Education. Most of the summaries address the effectiveness of vocational education programs, services, and activities in meeting the objectives as set forth in the State Plan and recommend changes warranted by the evaluations. Some reports note council activities and special projects or studies commissioned by the councils. Summaries are arranged alphabetically by state. An overview section highlights common issues in all the reports, focusing on the statutory requirements for evaluation of attainment of the goals and objectives of the State Plans. Eight issues and concerns addressed most frequently in the reports are identified and discussed briefly: professional development, disadvantaged and handicapped, local advisory committees, job placement and followup, guidance and counseling, vocational youth organizations, market and manpower data/program relevance, women's issues, and funding.
