The performance of individuals is the chief factor in the performance of data processing installations. Training can close the gap between rapidly changing tasks and the skills they require. The article views types of training available and discusses a survey of attitudes toward data processing training. (Author/AJ)

Analyzes employment trends in computer-related fields, focusing on the education and employment of Black computer workers. Reports that parity is increasing in computer occupations where gaps between Black and White employment exist, those jobs requiring the most education. (KH)

The computer industry is growing at a phenomenal rate as technology advances and prices fall, stimulating unprecedented demand from business, government, and individuals. Higher levels of education will be the key to securing employment as organizations increasingly rely on sophisticated technology. (Author)

Discusses the technological changes that have occurred in computers and the recent and projected employment trends in the major computer occupations. Implications of growth in computer occupations are examined in five areas: education, recruiting techniques, salaries, competition between industry and education, and employment opportunities. (CT)

The authors focus on issues related to the continual use of video display terminals in the office, including safety and health regulations, potential health problems, and the role of training in minimizing work-related health problems. (CH)

In 1980 1,455,000 persons worked in computer occupations. Two in five were systems analysts or programmers; one in five was a keypunch operator; one in 20 was a computer service technician; and more than one in three were computer and peripheral equipment operators. Employment was concentrated in major urban centers in four major industry…

Nearly 150 papers presented at this conference, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing, are included in this volume which surveys the state of the art of computer education. Nine papers provide an overview on such topics as computer science and mathematics, computer education in the 1970's, computers and the…

A study examined the training required for a wide range of occupations in which workers use computers or computer-controlled equipment. It was determined that although computer use is widespread and growing rapidly, relatively few workers (about 5 percent) need extensive education or training in computer-related skills. Because most workers…

Fifteen papers on computer centers and data processing management presented at the Association for Educational Data Systems (AEDS) 1976 convention are included in this document. The first two papers review the recent controversy for proposed licensing of data processors, and they are followed by a description of the Institute for Certification of…
