A RESEARCH COORDINATING UNIT IN THE FIELD OF OCCUPATIONAL RESEARCH WAS ESTABLISHED AT COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY. THE UNIT WAS PRINCIPALLY CONCERNED WITH STIMULATION AND INITIATION OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION RESEARCH. A STUDY OF THE POST-HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCES OF GRADUATES OF THE 1963 CLASS OF COLORADO SECONDARY SCHOOLS WAS COMPLETED. A STUDY OF OCCUPATIONS IN THE COLORADO ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY WAS ALSO CONDUCTED IN ORDER TO FORMULATE MORE INTELLIGENT DECISIONS ABOUT VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN THAT AREA. SINCE THE UNIT WAS FUNDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL 19 MONTHS, IT WAS EXPECTED THAT ACTIVITIES WOULD BE EXPANDED TO PROVIDE A GREATER SERVICE TO VOCATIONAL EDUCATION RESEARCH IN COLORADO. (TC)
