The purpose of this study was to assess the successful placement of child care training programs in secondary and post-secondary schools in the State of Florida and determine what factors contributed to the placement record. / Two methods of data collection was utilized. These were: Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program (FETPIP) computerized data file and original data from a survey based upon the review of literature. / Job related placement (JRP) rates for program completers were calculated. The number of JRP'S, wage information, jobs held, race, sex, etc. was extracted from FETPIP data file. Data was discussed and displayed in tables. / The major findings were: that all child care training program (types) were non-successful when success was defined by the State of Florida as 70 percent job related placement. Significant relationship existed between: (a) levels of programs and JRP, (b) two types of child care programs (Child Care Supervision and Child Care Center Operations) and JRP, (c) support from school personnel and JRP, (d) wage and JRP, and (e) information on job openings and JRP. All other variables proved non-significant related to JRP. / The findings of this study may be incorporated into existing child care training programs to improve job placement rates, the quality of programs, and services offered to program completers. / The population and sample consisted of all students in the State of Florida who had valid reported Social Security numbers who were completers of secondary and post-secondary vocational home economics child care training programs during the 1990-91 school year. The teacher population consisted of 102 vocational home economics teachers based upon a list obtained from the Florida Department of Education. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 56-04, Section: A, page: 1331. / Major Professor: Clyde F.
