A study examined the technological literacy needs of persons trained at community colleges, current labor market trends in the state of Washington, and possible resource-sharing models for use within the Washington State Community College system. Data were collected from 25 mail questionnaires, phone interviews with personnel from 114 companies throughout Washington, and site visits to 10 companies located in Spokane. Companies using advanced technology expressed the need for community college-trained personnel with data/information-, people-, and equipment-related competencies. Occupational growth in Washington is expected to be modest through 1990, with demand centering mainly in the service industries (particularly marketing and sales, office/clerical occupations, and culinary/hospitality services): The State's community college system currently has as least five traditional programs in which supply exceeds demand by more than 300 percent. Three resource-sharing models calling for equipment sharing, equipment and facility exchange, and college consortia were suggested as possibly being feasible in Washington's community college system.
