The gap is expected to increase to 2.4 million! New technicians are not work ready. Technical education scope is limited to single skill disciplines vs. multiskilled. Development for workplace practices is essentially non-existent. (e.g., safety practice, visual workplace organization, lean practices, problem solving) Work values/professional behavior development is low and inconsistent. (e.g., attendance, initiative, diligence, teamwork, communication) This is a competitive disadvantage in the global market. Aging technical workforce. Current workforce age distribution is significantly unbalanced. Older, experienced, highly capable workers are retiring in increasing numbers.

A Special Report on Postsecondary Education. INSTITUTION Ohio State Univ., Columbus. Center on Education and Training for Employment. SPONS AGENCY Micronesia Dept. of Human Resources, Palikir, Pohnpei. Office of Education. PUB DATE Jan 90 CONTRACT FSM-45 NOTE 59p. PUB TYPE Reports - Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE EF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Administrative Organization; Attitudes; College Role; *Community Colleges; *Educational Development; *Educational Improvement; *Financial Support; Higher Education; International Cooperation; Interviews; Program Descriptions; School Surveys; Teacher Education; Two Year Colleges IDENTIFIERS *Micronesia ABSTRACT In 1989 the Center on Education and Training for Employment at Ohio State University was asked by the government of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) to conduct a study on the postsecondary educational system within the FSM. During the course of the study, the survey team's postsecondary specialist visited community college campuses and centers for continuing education throughout the Pacific rim, including the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the FSK, and the Republic of Palau, the three nations which maintain a treaty operating the College of Micronesia's multi-campus sites. During these visits, over 102 people were interviewed, including college administrators, teachers, students, state government officials, national government officials, and and off-island educators. Areas examined by the study included financing of current postsecondary programs including community college funding, scholarships, and Pell grants. Also examined were interviewee concerns and observations regarding eight basic issues for the FSK, including the three nation treaty, college governance, the predominant role of foreigners in skilled occupations, the need for and financing of a four-year institution, and private sector economic development.

  • Königsberg–Kaliningrad, 1928-1948
    Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg–Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 By Nicole M. Eaton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, chair Professor John Connelly Professor Victoria Bonnell Fall 2013 Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg–Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 © 2013 By Nicole M. Eaton 1 Abstract Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948 by Nicole M. Eaton Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair “Exclave: Politics, Ideology, and Everyday Life in Königsberg-Kaliningrad, 1928-1948,” looks at the history of one city in both Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Russia, follow- ing the transformation of Königsberg from an East Prussian city into a Nazi German city, its destruction in the war, and its postwar rebirth as the Soviet Russian city of Kaliningrad. The city is peculiar in the history of Europe as a double exclave, first separated from Germany by the Polish Corridor, later separated from the mainland of Soviet Russia. The dissertation analyzes the ways in which each regime tried to transform the city and its inhabitants, fo- cusing on Nazi and Soviet attempts to reconfigure urban space (the physical and symbolic landscape of the city, its public areas, markets, streets, and buildings); refashion the body (through work, leisure, nutrition, and healthcare); and reconstitute the mind (through vari- ous forms of education and propaganda). Between these two urban revolutions, it tells the story of the violent encounter between them in the spring of 1945: one of the largest offen- sives of the Second World War, one of the greatest civilian exoduses in human history, and one of the most violent encounters between the Soviet army and a civilian population.
