Description

Institutional responsiveness is a measure of how responsive an institution is to its market. The market includes all stakeholders (students, businesses, and the community). Several major issues were examined in this study, including responsiveness to the labor market, job placement, graduation rate, and quality of program. Implications from this study should be quite useful to IVETA and members of our global community. The study was funded by a grant from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Vocational Technical Education under the auspices of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act (Public Law 105-332-Oct. 31, 1998).
