The pamphlet's eight chapters review the results of a survey of community colleges, discuss some of the strengths of community colleges as they pertain to manpower training, and identify problems encountered in the operation of training programs. In addition, the development, organization, and operation of comprehensive manpower training skills centers in community college settings are analyzed. Also examined are examples of alternative approaches to skills center structure and the significance of manpower planning to manpower training programs in community colleges. Relationships between community college philosophy and relevant legislation are discussed, and suggestions are offered for the expansion of community college participation in manpower training. The author believes the publication will prove useful to legislators, Federal and State administrators of manpower programs, planners of economic development, manpower area planning councils, and to community college boards and administrators.
