This report assesses the image of vocational education through a review of several studies and projects concerned with that image. In the first section of the report, the three most recent studies that target the image of vocational education from the national perspectives of manufacturers, state legislators, and employers are abstracted. Along with these abstracts are extracts of two recent Gallup Polls that indicate something of the image of vocational education held by the American public as a whole. Following these glimpses of the national picture are summaries of two studies from the Southeast, one from Florida and one from Georgia, that provide a regional perspective of the image of vocational education. The Florida study concentrates on the business community, whereas the researchers for the Georgia study also sampled the impressions of students, parents, and educators. The second section of this report contains brief descriptions of the efforts of a Florida educational agency to maintain and enhance the image of vocational education in Florida. In this section, three projects that have resulted in an enhancement of the image of vocational education in other states (New York, Hawaii, and Alabama) are reported. The final section contains conclusions derived from the literature and recommendations to the State Board for Vocational Education for continuing and additional efforts that might be undertaken to enhance the public image of vocational-technical education in Florida.
