FOREWORD

l\'entnel{y's past eeonomy has been based primarily upon agri-
culture. However. due to a eentralized geographie loeation, an

abundanee ol’ natural resonrees. and a surplus supply ol' manpower,

the State is undergoing rapid ehanges and is making great strides
toward industrialization. With the rapid development of industry
within the State, many thousands of industrial and business jobs
are being ereated. The inereasing eomplexity of automation and
teehnologieal advanees are demanding more highly skilled employees
who are better able to meet these ehanging needs. l’rograms tor the
training and retraining of industrial \vorlters require eritieal evalu—
ation and eonstant revision to keep paee with the elianging teelmol-
ogy for those who wish to avail themselves of the many opportuni-
ties in industrial oeeupations.

The State program of Voeational Industrial and ’l‘eehnieal Edn-
eation is an important means through \\'llll'll sound voeational train-
ing «an be extended to an area beyond the boundaries of municipali-
ties or distriets. The area voeational sehools, are strategically 10‘
eated in relation to geographie limitations and population eenters.
They aim to serve more adequately the needs ol’ the inereasing mun-
ber of students, both youth and adults, who are eonstautly in need
of adjustment to meet the demands ol’ this age of ehanging' social
and eeonomic eonditions. Eaeh area voeational sehool offers it
variety of eonrses, broad enough in seope, to provide training for
the major oeeupational fields in wliieh the residents of the area are
engaged. Because, they serve persons who need upgrading traillilltl'
as well as preparatory training for entrain-e into industrial and
business oet'7npat'ions, these area sehools are loeated mainly in urban
centers made up of workers in industry and business.

With the inereased emphasis upon a sound foundation in gen-

by the area voeational sehools are rapidly l’)eeoming post—high seltool

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Division of Industrial and 'l‘echnical Education through its
system ot‘ Area Vocational Schools throughout the state offers a
comprehensive program of full—time and part—time education of a
nature that prepares people for entrance into industrial and techni-
cal occupations, or that enables those already employed to advance

riculum is organized to give more than training for specific job
skills—it develom abilities, uiulerstaiulings, attitudes. working
habits, and appreciation which contribute to a satisfying and pro-
duetive life.

The schools strive to provide a well-roluuled program of studies
aimed at developing competent workers, the ultimate, goal of which
is an American worker-eitizen who is competent voeationally, eco-
nomically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

The program of vocational-technical education in Kentuek."
is not offered in lieu of general academic education, hut grows 011t
of it, supplementing and enhancing it. Vocatitmal—technical edueé-
tion is an integral part of the total education program. Both VOC‘ﬂ‘
tional—teehnical education and academic edueation prog'ains are
administered under the auspices of the, legally ctmstituted state and
local authorities, who recognize their responsibilities for providing
adequate educational opportunities for all people.
