I would like to see the complete list. Also, have you viewed my "still in
the process" web page on workplace education?
www.geocities.com/workplace_education  I am still asking for more sites to
add and or areas to target. I want it to be helpful to those that need the
resources. Please pass on any comments that could help make it better or
assist in getting the word out that it exists. Don :)

Good morning,

Our thanks to many of you for contributing to the list of 
concerns/issues/trends/topics related to adult, career, and 
vocational/technical education. The ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, 
and Vocational Education National Committee met yesterday and, together 
with help from some local experts, developed the following lists of the top 
ten trends and issues in each area.  If you would like to have the entire 
lists that were generated, please let me know and I will send them as an 
attachment.

Again, our thanks.

Judy
