• W222748499 abstract "Preparing today's work force for future technological changes is part of the mission of institutions of higher education. A pivotal role in overseeing and managing this function is played by vocational deans, who are responsible for overseeing the training and development of both students and instructional staff. Deans need management and conflict resolution skills in order to provide a vision and lead staff and students while ensuring the smooth flow of day-to-day operations. Vocational deans are responsible for evaluating and monitoring students' acquisition of job skills, maintaining good relationships with the business community and advisory boards, enabling and accepting faculty input, and fostering staff professional development in order to implement new ideas. Vocational deans at community or technical colleges can take 15 steps to create this environment, including living by the highest level of integrity and ethics, setting and developing priorities, being tough but fair with people, and believing in corporate citizenship. The vocational deans' abilities in developing a professional team of vocational instructors and interfacing with the business community will facilitate the acquisition of work-related and job competency-based skills by the workers of tomorrow.

Fusch Abstract The position of vocational dean has. always been an important position within the educational institution. In the coming years, that position will become even more critical and pivotal to the success of the institution in terms of student learning skills retention and the success of any program under the vocational dean's jurisdiction. Preparing today's workforce for the coming technological changes and the advent of the informational and technical age is both a group and an individual effort for the many educational facilities. As a part of these facilities, the vocational dean, as an individual, is responsible for overseeing the training and development of both the student and the instructional staff, in order to facilitate this new tone and method on instruction. Using appropriate management abilities, these new skills and the new tone of the educational institution can be communicated to others with little disruption or conflict in day-to-day operations. With correct evaluation and monitoring of job skill acquisition, maintaining good relationships with the business community and advisory boards, enabling and accepting faculty input, and fostering staff professional development, the vocational dean can insure that new ideas have been communicated and implemented. With this assurance, the vocational dean has accomplished the task of preparing the future workforce for the changes to come.

The Emergence of the Technological/Information Age Contrary to current circumstances, the United States was not always a nation of predominantly skilled workers. The US is a nation that was founded upon agricultural pursuits, with a substantial number of its workers centered in agricultural labor and the majority of its population living in rural areas. For proof, one only had to look at the large number of large land holdings amongst the populace, as well as notice the country's extensive agricultural export base of the sixteen and seventeen hundreds. As students of American history know, the advent of the American Industrial Revolution changed all this, and the country's agricultural predominance was no more. Instead, as technology advanced the US became an industrialized nation, leaving behind its agricultural roots, further diminishing these roots in importance and strategic position within the American market system. As a result, the majority of American workers also left the farm and rural areas and migrated to the cities to obtain employment within the burgeoning industrial factory workplace. Thus began the shift of the populace from rural to urban homes. In 1916, the US rural population peaked at 32.5 million. By 1989, only 4.8 million remained. Smith (1990). In turn, as the industrial era ended in the 1970's and 1980's, it, too, was left behind and eclipsed by the changing times. This was evidenced by the closure of numerous factories and steel mills, and the emergence of increasing employment in the service and informational sectors.
