The modules are: student accounting system, non-public supply, demand, placement, upgrading training needs projection, cost/benefit, potential student, student interest, physical facility, disadvantaged and handicapped, interfacing, interstate coordination, optimum program mix, program application evaluation, Kansas vocational education budgeting, and data dissemination and feedback.
