This dissertation uncovers the initial history of North Carolina's Industrial Education Centers, an essential part of the history of vocational education and community colleges in the State of North Carolina. These centers opened in the late 1950s through the early 1960s and served as part of the predecessors for the future community college…

One of the aims of this work is to highlight the need for connecting the practice and theoretical studies of industrial engineers. One reason for this need is the fact that students tend to graduate without proper preparation for practice, spreading thus a bad reputation of statistics and its potential, and even affecting students' dispositions…

Educational politics in the United States is entangled in the notion that the foremost mission of education is, in the infamous words of Gov. Scott Walker's proposed revision of the University of Wisconsin's mission, "to develop human resources to meet the state's workforce needs." This general outlook is not an outlier. It is typical of…

This paper argues that country size can play a crucial role in shaping the type of gradual change observed in collective skill formation systems. Collectively governed dual-apprenticeship training has its base in the industrial and crafts sectors of the economy and builds on the decentralised cooperation of multiple public and private…
