ABSTRACT: These proceedings of a conference on the role of
education in the reindustrialization of the United States
consist of the conference introductory remarks, the texts of
five conference presentations, reactor comments and
concluding remarks, an executive summary, and a list of
conference participants. The first conference report
describes the South Carolina Technical Education System,
which focuses on improving industrial training by developing
special programs, employee-upgrading courses, and
occupational programs. The need for greater cooperation
between education and the world of work through improved
linkages between employers and employee trainers is the
subject of the second presentation. Discussed next is the
importance of the small business to the American economy.
Effective human resource development and management as a
path for increasing employment opportunities for minorities,
youth, women, and the handicapped is the key issue examined
in a presentation on industry-education cooperation as
affirmative action in economic development. The final
presentation deals with quality control in industry and the
training function in industry and the public schools. (MN)
