Abstract: | To facilitate career change among adults, Central Michigan University has developed innovative means of helping learners develop the prerequisite skills needed for advanced course work in management. These efforts include the preparation of a reader containing basic theories and seminal writings, diagnostic instruments and self-study guides in quantitative areas, and non-credit workshops in statistics and accounting. The problem of assuring adequate preparation has not been wholly resolved, although each of these approaches has proven useful in assisting adults to make educational and vocational transitions. |
