This study with emphasis upon vocational-technical, college parallel, and adult educational programs is believed to be the first comprehensive, regional occupational study in the United States. Dr Raymond J. Young, Professor of Higher Education at the University of Michigan and Community College Consultant,was employed by Eastern Iowa Community College's Board of Directors to conduct and aid the local director in analyzing the results of this study. Gerald D. Clemmensen directed the study for Eastern Iowa Community College. His efforts in conducting the work of the citizens' committees, and handling the distribution and retrieval of the questionnaires with emphasis on correlating dhis information forour purposes were an essential contribution to this study. Special thanks are extended to the members of the citizens' advisory committees who gave willingly of their time and effort in obtaining infor- mation from the various people in business and industry; from the multitude of parents; and from perhaps the most important part ofour community, the potential students for whom our collegeswere established. It is our sincere hope that the results of thissurvey will not only benefit our immediate communities by establishinga better, more complete curriculum; but aid other communities in establishingprograms in post- high school education. 4111 ar,44- PI Dr. Robert W.JI!nson Superintendert Eastern Iowa Community College ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The implementation of procedures for modifying and field testing, data collection instruments with the assistance of citizens' committees and educators, the calculations of enrollment projections, the collection of data and their preparation for processing, and the review of prelimi- nary manuscripts with citizens' committees for suggestions and modifica- tions were done under the direction of Gerald D.

It is one of the Quad Cities, four mid-sized midwestern cities that straddle the Mississippi River, 165 miles west of Chicago. With its neighboring cities of Bettendorf, Iowa; Davenport, Iowa and Rock Island, Illinois, the area population is almost 400,000, the largest urban area between Minneapolis and St. Louis. Moline’s local economy has a strong corporate presence, including John Deere and KONE, Inc. A recent two-phase, $48 million expansion of Western Illinois University has added a new state university campus to the downtown riverfront. Nearby, IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union construction of its $26m headquarters is scheduled for completion this fall. Downtown hosts the John Deere Pavilion, a visitor and discovery center; as well as a number of national chain hotels and commercial developments. A portion of downtown Moline is a National Register Historic District. The Rock Island Arsenal, home of the First Army Headquarters, employs approximately 6,000 individuals on a 950-acre island immediately adjacent to downtown Moline.
