VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS INITIATIVE
The MMTA estimates that there are as many as 1600 technician jobs currently unfilled in our State. And, the situation has prevailed for a number of years with no relief in sight. We are well aware that this is a nationwide problem. Our Association decided some time ago to try to resolve the problem in our State in support of the twelve hundred and sixty recreational marine businesses here. Our Education Committee was given the task of finding and implementing solutions.
We actually found that the problem goes beyond the scope of marine technicians; we found that young persons are not entering recreational marine career paths so although we have had terrific business conditions the last few years, we have an aging workforce with a lack of young persons entering our workforce.
Obviously, we are underserving our (boating) clientele in a serious way. For example, we found that delays of five to six weeks to repair a boat (in season) were a very common occurrence. It became imperative that we find and implement the solutions the MMTA called for.
The Education Committee allied itself with the State Workforce Board, which subsequently declared our recreational marine trades a “critical and emerging industry” in our State. We made application for a grant and received same for the purpose of educating incumbent workers so that they could move up the ladder; this left a gap for entry level personnel that led us to ally with public vocational technical high schools and with college level technical institutes.

by David Banner B oston is the American melting pot of college students. Whether you attend a four-year or two-year college, a medical or law school, a business or vocational school, or a school for the arts or sciences, each institution is a single thread woven with the others to make the fabric of a major international center for higher education. Whatever field you choose to endeavor, you can be assured there is a school in Boston to fill the need. Many schools have cooperative or exchange programs with other institutions, which allow their students to take courses which they do not offer themselves.
Once upon a time, college applicants would have to trek to the library, or go the high school guidance office, or would have to write to a school to send a brochure. Today the internet brings all these campuses to the home computer. There are many excellent on-line college directories. College and University Home Pages is a web site which has homepages of colleges worldwide. There are valuable links to specialty and vocational schools from fields ranging from healthcare, to truck driving, to welding.

Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health, Toxics Use Reduction Institute and its sister agency, the Office of Technical Assistance, Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, and local experts from industry and trade associations
The toxics use reduction project at Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School, a regional school encompassing 34 communities, drew on the skills and resources of several city departments and four different state agencies. This partnership developed an integrated course curriculum on TUR, as well as strategies for TUR in school shops, laboratories and custodial services. The goal was to decrease use of toxic materials and the waste generated to increase the health and safety of students, faculty and staff through reduced use of toxic substances, to prevent pollution through toxics use reduction, and to promote a sense of cooperation and responsibility within the school community as it related to TUR.
The 500 Smith students were equipped with knowledge about toxics not only in the school setting but also in the workplace. See the Vocational TUR Plan that was developed to the right.

Lawmakers go to bat for vocational students
By Aaron Nicodemus, Standard-Times staff writer
BOSTON SouthCoast school officials and legislators are leading the charge to allow vocational students to be judged by an alternative to the state-mandated MCAS exam.
The alternative, called a Certificate of Occupational Proficiency, would not replace the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, and vocational students would still be required to take the MCAS test. But the proficiency test would include more testing of vocational students' knowledge in their chosen trade, and passing it would allow a vocational student to receive a high school diploma.
"This would be a more balanced assessment," said David Ferreira, superintendent of Old Colony Regional Vocational-Technical High School in Rochester. "Statewide, only about 20 to 30 percent of vocational students are visual learners, who do well on pencil and paper tests. The remaining 70 to 80 percent of vocational students are performance learners, who have a real problem with paper and pencil tests."
The proficiency assessment would test English and math skills, but would also include an employability skills assessment, a portfolio assessment, and a performance review of the student's chosen trade by an outside tester chosen by the state Board of Education.

Vocational schools see a bright side to scores
By Aaron Nicodemus, Standard-Times staff writer
While there was some dramatic improvement in the performance of SouthCoast vocational students in this third year of MCAS testing, more than half are failing the English portion of the test, and two-thirds are failing math.
The failure rate at Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational-Technical High School increased this year over last, in contrast to other vocational schools in the region. Four out of five Greater New Bedford Voc-Tech students failed the math portion of the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System test this year.
MCAS has always been a sore point for vocational school administrators, who believe the test does not cover half of what vocational students learn, namely their trade skills.
Superintendents are supporting legislation that would create a separate test for vocational students, called a Certificate of Occupational Proficiency, that would measure both academic and trade skills. Vocational educators argue that the MCAS measures only the academic component of vocational education and ignores the applied knowledge learned in their trade. The legislation has the support of several area legislators, and will be filed Dec. 1.
The Certificate of Occupational Proficiency would not replace the MCAS, the educators say, but would more accurately test the abilities of vocational students. As the MCAS law stands right now, all high school students beginning with the class of 2003 must pass the MCAS to receive a diploma. With the legislation, vocational students could conceivably fail the MCAS, pass the vocational certificate and receive a high school diploma.
