Abstract

In order to plan for this proposed cooperative program, it was necessary to gain specific information from the business community on the Peninsula. The goals of this study were: 1. To determine the job placements for gifted and talented students that would be available on the peninsula; 2. To determine the variety of occupational areas that would provide assistance to the program; 3. To determine the job-entry skills that prospective employers would require of a student in the program.
