By: John E. De Leon and Ralph E. Borchers
Abstract
Much has been written about workplace skills that warrant employability success (i.e., SCANS and ASTD studies), but very little has been written about specific applications to individual industrial sectors, specifically manufacturing. This study was undertaken to determine current and projected employment trends of high school graduates by Texas manufacturers. Surveys were distributed to 210 Texas firms with 500 or more employees. Sought were the specific basic academic and vocational skills students with only a high school education would need to find employment in Texas manufacturing industries.
