The study reported here examined the needs of single parents and homemakers in Hawaii for vocational education. Data from a questionnaire completed by 273 single parents/homemakers indicated that most were female and either divorced, separated, or widowed. One-fourth of the sample earned less than $500 monthly. Nearly 90 percent had completed high school, and 22 percent were currently enrolled in a community college program. The major barriers to completing postsecondary education cited were lack of funds and lack of child care. Fifty-one percent were employed. The respondents expressed particular need for training in how to present their skills, support themselves through college, find their job skills, and obtain needed training. The more immediate needs mentioned by respondents were living expenses, housing, child care, legal information, career counseling, and job training and placement. Interviews with chancellors at local community college indicated that approximately 2,194 single parents/homemakers were currently enrolled in a community college. Although some special programs geared toward the needs of single parents/homemakers do exist, lack of access and child care, fragmented services, and services that miss the mark are still a problem. (Appendixes to this report include a review of recent literature on single parents/homemakers and the interview schedules and questionnaires used in the study.) (NB)
