Dear Ms. Williams:
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ray Worley. I am
president of Wortech Computer Service, Inc. Our company sells,
installs, and services computer systems in Mobile and the
surrounding area. Prior to starting the company, I retired from
the United States Coast Guard and graduated from Southeast College
of Technology here in Mobile, Alabama.
We have hired graduates of Southeast College, and find them to
be extremely well trained. The college prepares its graduates to
meet the challenges of this advancing and ever-changing technical
field.
We pride ourselves here at Wortech in having one of the most
up-to-date and qualified technical staffs in the computer field.
We credit colleges like Southeast with providing us qualified
personnel. It would be very difficult for a new and growing
company like Wortech to find the employees we desire, if we were
unable to turn to colleges like Southeast College of Technology.
The role of career colleges in America is becoming
increasingly important in preparing our young people to meet the
challenges facing the workforce of tomorrow.

We thank President Clinton for his work concerning these
issues, and assure you Wortech Computer Service remains committed
to employing only the best trained workers available.

When a critical sector of the economy is being considered for new
legislation by the congress as well as new and additional
regulations by a federal agency the possibility for unwanted costly
results arises. At such time it is important for other sector of
the economy which depend on the targeted sector to speak up and
help in keeping the correct and precise view in perspective. Such
is the case with carrer college sector of education.
Private career colleges serve a critical role in the development of
the technical Human Resources that our industries need. For many
years our organization, as well as our peers in Puerto Rico, have
depended on the private career colleges of the areas for the supply
of the qualified technicians that we have needed. It is important
to consider that in Puerto Rico there are no community colleges
like the ones that exist in the United States. Thus, we depend
almost exclusively on the private trade and technical schools for
our Human Resources supply.
This being the case, we urge the Clinton Administration to assume
a developmental approach in the career college segment of
education. World Class Organizations will really appreciate it.

Dear Ms. Williams:
I am the Manager of the Medical Record Department at
St. Mary-Corwin Hospital, a 408 bed acute care
facility in Pueblo, Colorado. The hospital is a
regional health care center providing care in the
areas of rehabilitative medicine, and extended care
as well as acute care.
Local career colleges provide the only possible way
for many people in the area to obtain the highly
technical skills needed in the hospital environment.
It is essential that the workforce be made up of
people who want to spend their lives in the area
rather than bringing people from afar who quickly
leave the area.
I hire graduates from Pueblo College of Business and
Technology because the students are well trained.
They are members of the community who plan to remain
in the community and work toward making Pueblo a
better place to live. I know I can depend on them to
be committed to the hospital and the community.
St. Mary-Corwin Hospital has a deep commitment to the
Pueblo Community and to hiring the very best trained
workers in the world. Thank you for your continuing
interest and support in addressing workforce issues.

We currently hire many of our Medical Assistants from Bran-

Dear Ms. Williams:
I am a physician in private practice. I treat an average of 50
patients a day. These patients are from all walks of life, and
include Medicare, Medicaid, private pay and gratis patients. Yes
Ms. Williams, I provide medical care free of charge.
Over the past several years I have routinely hired graduates from
PRI Health Careers School, a private career school. I have found
their graduates to be highly skilled, professional people. I
appreciate the fact that these energetic individuals were trained
SO well, but were not required to take frivolous, humanities
courses costing them time and money.
In the medical field there are a vast number of technical and
administrative job requirements that do not warrant college
degrees. The individuals I hire, Medical Assistants and
Administrative personnel, do not require lengthy college
educations to do an outstanding job. They require concentrated,
technical training in their specialized areas. Colleges and
Universities are not meeting this employment need. If PPI didn't
fulfill this need I would be forced to staff my office with
personnel trained on-the-job. This would not meet my goal of
optimal medical care.
I appreciate the work President Clinton is doing in regard to
work force issues, however, to continue to get people employed in
an expeditious manner we need the diversity of career schools and
colleges. Please support them.

Dear Ms. Williams:
The East Hartford Chamber of Commerce represents over 350 businesses in Central
Connecticut. Our membership ranges from large multinational corporations such
as Pratt & Whitney Aircraft to small but growing businesses.
Our companies regularly hire graduates of business and technical schools for
many reasons. These graduates have extensive real work experience, often
augmented by externship in the work environment. In addition, this training
is provided to business and technical school students in a comparatively
short period of time. With the extensive downsizing of the private sector
in our area, private business and technical schools have become the method
of choice to quickly retrain our local dislocated workers and place them
back into jobs. They have been especially adept at restructuring curriculum
to meet our changing local employment needs.
Career colleges are an integral component of the educational tapestry offered
to Connecticut residents. They are well recognized for preparing competent
workers at very reasonable cost. If these schools did not exist, we would
be left with the public sector as the only alternate source of business
and technical education. While we respect the role of public education,
many times our needs are better addressed by the private sector. And as private
corporations, we do not have prejudices about a private corporation's ability to
deliver good education.
We thank President Clinton for his focus on workforce and retraining issues,
and hope you concur that private career schools have a leading role in this
issue.
Sincerely, mary Reid

Dear Ms. Williams:
We are a placement agency who receives JTPA and other funding to refer dislocated
workers into training as well as place job-ready clients into employment. With
the local economy racked by layoffs in the defense, banking and insurance industries,
our caseload has stretched our resources.
One of the ways we have coped with this unprecedented need for retraining has been
to rely more heavily on private career schools. We have found that the graduates
of these programs are able to be readily placed in many office and technical
environments. Our cooperating employers tend to respect the hands-on training
received at career schools. Career school has the specific goal of training for
a particular job. Little time is spent on liberal arts or general knowledge courses
which proliferate at traditional degree granting institutions. Consequently,
training can be completed more quickly, often allowing placement in a new field
even before the loss of unemployment benefits.
In this difficult economy, career schools are not the only answer, but they have
made an impact on many individuals who have needed new skills quickly. Quick is not
in the regular vocabulary of our public sector schools, who offer a good education
but who move much more glacially in response to changes in the workplace.
We appreciate the work of President and Ms. Clinton is bringing national workforce
issues to the forefront of the debate on the international economy. Please support
career schools who have done SO much toward making American workers the best trained
in the world.

Dear Ms. Williams:
I work for Simmons Communications, as a Human
Resource/Benefits Manager, in Stamford, Connecticut, and our
business is Cable Television. As you know, Cable TV has
been quite shaken by the new FCC Regulations that have re-
regulated Cable Television. During the period of re-
regulation, our company needed assistance in various ways,
accounting, administrative, and secretarial. In my twelve
year career, I have found that hiring Katharine Gibbs
graduates has always been to my company's advantage. I am
assured that the candidate that has attended Katharine Gibbs
is professional, dedicated, motivated, and willing to do
whatever it takes to get the job done. My company looks for
these characteristics in all the employees we hire.
It would be a great loss if we could no longer hire
Katharine Gibbs graduates. The Vice President and
Presidents of our company would not feel comfortable with a
secretary who had not had all of the professional and
technical training that a secretary receives at Katharine
Gibbs. The Accounting Department would particularly suffer.
because they hire accounting clerks that have attended
Katharine Gibbs. We are always assured of the technical
skills that our Company needs since we do not have the time
to train the candidates that we interview and hire. Since
our Company has been re-regulated by the FCC our budget is
extremely limited and we do not have the funds available to
send mediocre people to class to be trained. In speaking
with my peers, in Human Resources, they share the same
attitude; in this economy our budgets do not allow for extra
training that would be needed for our candidate or new
employee. We know Katharine Gibbs employees are already
well trained.

I am quite surprised by the proposal to limit two year and
technical college funding. In this time of global economic
competition, and the fact the United States is not longer a
leader, I think it is important that every person be
educated so that our country may once again be a leader in
the global economy. Another fear which has been expressed
by my peers is that if we do not have an educated population
we do not have a Democracy. I am sure that you and all the
people in Washington, DC, can relate to this and understand.
To maintain our Democracy we need to have an educated and
literate population, the technical and two year schools
certainly fulfill a need for those who do not wish or can
not afford to go to a four year college.
Please thank President and Mrs. Clinton for all their work
regarding Work Force Issues and ask them to continue to
maintain their high standards. I am in graduate school and
my company encourages all of our employees to continue their
educations even though we do not offer a Tuition
Reimbursement Program. Because of the FCC re-regulation my
company can no longer afford to offer the program but they
do give employees time off to attend school and offer
support in other ways. Our Company believes that a well
educated and trained employee or person is an asset to their
Company, to the global economy, to their community, their
family, and themselves.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Very truly yours,

Dear Mrs. Williams:
I represent Hi-Tech Reporting Services, a court reporting firm in
the Detroit, Michigan area. In our business, we regularly handle
the court reporting needs of both large and small corporations,
law firms and individuals.
We are in constant need of well-trained court reporting graduates
to fulfill the needs of our clients. Elsa Cooper Institute of
Court Reporting has been a source of supplying highly-trained
graduates for many years.
We feel that without private schools like Elsa Cooper Institute
of Court Reporting, our ability to hire qualified graduates would
be much more difficult and would result in a substantial increase
in costs of advertising for and training new court reporters.
Elsa Cooper Institute of Court Reporting has played a major role
in providing excellent training and upgrading of skills in our
profession.
We commend and encourage the President for his efforts regarding
workforce issues. It is our desire to continue to hire the best
trained workers in our profession.

Dear Ms. Williams:
J. Michael McDonald
Attorney at Law
Joseph M. Minard
I own the West Virginia Business College in Clarksburg
State Senator
and Wheeling, WV. I received an Associates Degree in
Brian Underwood
Business Administration from the West Virginia Career College
Engineer
in Wheeling on September, 1977. While taking classes, I was
L. Gil White
employed full time by the College. During my employment, I
House of Delegates
Jay Wolfe
was promoted and ultimately, in the Spring of 1989, I purchased
Independent Insurance Agent
the West Virginia Business College in Clarksburg, WV. A branch
campus was opened in Wheeling, WV in the Fall of 1989. The College
employs a minimum of 50 employees yearly.
As an employer, I understand the need for good, qualified
office personnel and I currently have on staff, four of West
Virginia Business College graduates. This does not include myself.
Without good, competent support staff, I would be unable to
operate my business. Without the training I received at the Career
College, I do not believe I would be able to operate my business
which grossed $1,500,000 the first year of business in 1989 and has
risen steadily yearly.
It is important that the Administration and the Department of
Education and Labor ensure that tomorrow's workers have the option
of private career school training. Schools like the West Virginia
Accredited By: Accrediting Commission of Association of Independent Colleges & Schools
Business College and the West Virginia Career College should play
a leading role in upgrading the skills of the American workforce.
I want to thank the President for his work regarding workforce
issues and I hope he will support proprietary as well as public
education.

or part time employment with our station or other stations.
These schools have also provided us with many well qualified
individuals that come to us through the internships we offer.
Occasionally we have even hired these interns. While regular college
and universities provide an excellent academic education, they don't
always provide the kinds of practical course work to prepare these
individuals for the skilled level jobs which the broadcast industry
offers.
I believe that the Connecticut School of Broadcasting and other
career schools throughout our country play an important roll in
upgrading the skills of the American workforce.
We would like to thank President Clinton for his work regarding the
workforce issues and for investing in the future of the American
workforce.

Dear Ms. Williams:
As Director of Pharmacy at William Beaumont Hospital, I wanted to convey my support for
the Pharmacy Technician Training Program currently offered by the Academy of Health
Careers as a career school. Beaumont Hospital is a large, private community teaching
hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, a northern suburb of Detroit. Our pharmacy department
currently employees approximately 60 pharmacy technicians. The pharmaceutical care
provided by the department of pharmaceutical services could not be accomplished without
the assistance of these pharmacy technicians.
To fulfill the role of a pharmacy technician today, didactic and experiential training are
required. The Academy of Health Careers, located in Madison Heights, Michigan, provides
such a program. Their program is a major source of pharmacy technicians in our
department.
We have worked closely with the Academy of Health Careers program over the past several
years. They have been very receptive and responsive to practitioner input which has led to
modifications in their Pharmacy Technician Training Program. As a department we strive to
use pharmacy technicians wherever possible for the technical aspects of our services. This
allows pharmacists the time to provide the cognitive and professional services needed to
effect appropriate pharmaceutical care. The department and the hospital need to be hiring
well trained individuals. The pharmacy technician training program offered by the Academy
of Health Careers, a career school, greatly supports this need.
Sincerely,
Richard L Recarth

Dear Ms. Williams:
I am writing you on behalf of Chapparal Career College here in
Tucson. The Tucson Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce is a private,
non-profit organization that works actively to support the needs of
small business in our region.
Chamber work is very challenging, and when we need to replace a
staff position, it requires an individual who is well trained and
able to adjust quickly to the diverse demands of our industry. We
are fortunate to currently be employing three Chapparal College
graduates in varying capacities here at the Chamber.
We have found Chapparal graduates to be hardworking, conscientious
and loyal. Chapparal College itself has been a member of the
Chamber since it opened its doors in 1972 and has been working
steadfastly since then to provide a quality educational experience
for local individuals. The Chamber is committed towards improving
our economy and, hence, the quality of our work force. Career
colleges play a crucial part in filling the varying educational
opportunities for our workers and providing them with the skills
essential to succeed in the changing work world.
Thank you for your attention to the work force issues of our
country's small businesses.
Sincerely,
June John C. Camper, CCE

NACFAM
The National Coalition for Advanced Manufacturing
November 3. 1993
William J. Clinton
The President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
On behalf of the National Coalition for Advanced Manufacturing (NACFAM). we would
like to express support for the Administration's School-to-Work Opportunities Act of
1993.
In our recently published position paper, Preparing Technical Workers for the New
Industrial Era: The Need for a Fundamental Shift in Federal Policy toward Technical
Education, we argued that the federal government should make global economic
competitiveness and quality technical education the principal drivers of its education policy,
programs, and resources. The School-to-Work bill represents a funding shift in the right
direction, and we hope that the Administration will sustain and even increase its investment
in school-to-work transition.
We are pleased with the bill's provisions allocating funds to local industry-school
partnerships, which we emphasized in our position paper as key to the development of a
high-skills workforce. We have proposed several amendments to ensure that employers
and national trade associations are more involved in the development of school-to-work
programs, and we are committed to generating industry support to implement them.
Since its inception in 1989, NACFAM. an industry-led, non-profit, and non-partisan
organization, has advocated public-private partnerships for industrial modemization
programs. NACFAM's rapidly growing membership presently includes 60 corporations,
175 manufacturing technology extension and research centers (making NACFAM the
largest association of such centers), and 25 national trade and technical education
associations (representing among them over 80 000 companies and thousands of technical
education institutions). NACFAM's Technical Education Alliance--representing
businesses, secondary schools, and community technical colleges from around the
country--articulates the views of the NACFAM community concerning workforce skills
development.
We will be providing copies of this letter to members of Congress and the Departments of
Education and Labor as a means to announce ACFAM's support for this legislation.
NACFAM looks forward to working with the Administration and Congress to ensure that
programs designed under this bill meet the needs of industry and the workforce.
Mary

AFL-CIO SAYS SCHOOL-TO-WORK
OPPORTUNITIES BILL A POSITIVE STEP
The AFL-CIO welcomes the School-To-Work Opportunities Act of 1993 as a
positive effort toward helping students to prepare for work while they are still in school.
The proposed legislation is further evidence of the Clinton Administration's
commitment to involve labor organizations, educators, businesses, state and local
governments, and others in partnerships to build a high-skill, high-wage workforce.
Jointly sponsored by the Departments of Labor and Education, the bill would
create a national framework for state and local School-to-Work Opportunities systems
to link schools and work. Included are provisions for federal-grants and administrative
flexibility to foster work- and school-based learning that meets challenging academic
standards, to coordinate the two types of learning and to award industry-recognized
skill certificates.
in its May 1993 guidelines on school-to-work transition, the AFL-CIO called for
the United States to "transform its work force into a legion of highly educated, trained
and skilled workers," declaring that President Clinton's plan "is a good start toward
building an education and training system that can meet this challenge."

AFT'S SHANKER SUPPORTS SCHOOL-TO-WORK LEGISLATION
WASHINGTON -- American Federation of Teachers President
Albert Shanker today endorsed the School-to-Work
Opportunities Act of 1993 submitted to Congress. The
legislation, jointly sponsored by the federal Departments of
Education and Labor, encourages states and localities to
develop school-to-work systems to prepare young people for
the world of work.
Shanker said: "Whether young people are headed for
college or work, this legislation expands their options. A
key part of President Clinton's education reform effort, it
will bring the discipline of standards to work-preparation
programs. This could be the beginning of a stronger American
workforce."
"The statewide school-to-work systems envisioned by the
legislation have a couple of important features. They combine
a strong academic program with work-based learning, and they
build on what we know about successful programs. They
involve labor leaders, educators, and businesses, and provide
flexibility in meeting local needs." M
