In a technical society, vocational education is a way of life, affecting and effecting all participants.
Abstract
For the incarcerated, the effect is an opportunity that America spends billions of dollars on yearly; an opportunity that affects individuals' lives. Hopefully, a young man doing time will learn new job skills and be effected with new behavior patterns and a new outlook on life that will make him an asset to society. The effect on our great Nation is a new productive citizen that looks upon himself with pride and is looked upon with dignity. He is not only productive to his wife, family, neighborhood, and community, but is also a strong asset to America's resolve in a technical, competitive world market. (Author abstract)
