| Summary: | Activities are reviewed of a project to provide planning information for high school vocational agriculture programs in Indiana and to develop a procedural model for conducting employment needs assessments in agriculture. An introductory chapter presents the purpose, the objectives of the needs assessment, and the rationale for developing the model. Development of the procedural model is described in chapter 2, and the specific results of the model tests are presented along with a listing of its critical aspects. Major findings presented are the following: (1) The procedural model based upon a random sample of agribusinesses did provide access to agribusiness employment data and (2) model validation tests indicated that the stratification procedures used did contribute to the selection of a representative random sample of agribusinesses. Chapter 3 reports the agribusiness employment needs by vocational agriculture program areas. Results portray anticipated employment hiring in each of the nonfarm business areas of agriculture. Recommendations for planning Indiana vocational programs presented in chapter 4 include major program emphasis on preparation of workers for production agriculture, agricultural supplies and services, agricultural mechanics, agricultural products, and ornamental horticulture. Appendixes contain a list of agribusinesses by Standard Industrial Classification code and survey questionnaires and letters used in the project. (BL) |
