The energy problem affects virtually every wage earner in |
|
America and cries out for increased involvement by |
|
vocational and technical educators. A recent study by the |
|
National Planning Association points up the need to |
|
project future manpower demands in energy and energy- |
|
related industries so that the country's educational and |
|
training institutions can provide the mix of graduates to |
|
match future needs. Educators also share the awesome |
|
responsibility for an advocacy role to maintain the |
|
culture. What appears to be needed in schools and |
|
colleges, at this moment in history, is a bold new |
|
approach for meeting the energy problem head-on. If the |
|
two-year postsecondary institutions, both public and |
|
private, are to make their greatest contribution during |
|
this period of limited energy resources, they must not |
|
only help prepare the thousands of technicians and |
|
skilled persons for the energy fields, but they must |
|
assist in the process of changing attitudes. Colleges |
|
must tune in to the shifting job opportunities evolving |
|
as a direct result of the changing focus in the energy |
|
fields. Only an informed network of postsecondary schools |
|
and colleges can be expected to provide a graduate mix |
|
that will match the real needs of future energy and |
|
energy-related industries. (Author/PR) |
