Since you have not gotten any answers yet, I'll take a chance.  I'm not a professional in this area.\n\nHuman Capital is the resource of the labor market.  The people who are (a) employable, and (b) looking for work, comprise the "labor pool."  The skills that labor pool possess is a part of the wealth of a country.  The more highly skilled workers a country has, the more productive it can potentially become.\n\nVocational training, and the evaluation of various vocational training programs, relates to improving the human capital, because it makes people more employable and more skilled.  So the better the vocational training programs, whether for the handicapped or simply unemployed workers, the better the human capital.  That is, the more wealth the country has, at least in potential.  \n\nThe problem is, many countries find that as soon as the workers get well trained, they want to move elsewhere.  This is often called "brain drain," and results in a net loss to the nation's economy.  Such a country must then develop incentives for the educated and skilled workers to remain near home.

I personally found Berne & Levy's 'Principles of Physiology' (3rd ed) to be the most straightforward and adequate book for precisely this subject (CV function). The book isn't too good (but not bad either) on most other subjects, but precisely the CVS chapter is very easy reading, well diagrammed, etc. (as compared to Guyton for example)

(m)\n\nIf we want to maximize training and development results by linking them to performance management we need to understand the difference between training activites and development activities. That's because it's important that we choose the right mechanism for addressing any needs we have.\n\nTraining usually refers to some kind of organized (and finite it time) event -- a seminar, workshop that has a specific beginning data and end date. It's often a group activity, but the word training is also used to refer to specific instruction done one on one.\n\nEmployee development, however, is a much bigger, inclusive "thing". For example, if a manager pairs up a relatively new employee with a more experienced employee to help the new employee learn about the job, that's really employee development. If a manager coaches and employee in an ongong way, that's employee development. Or, employees may rotate job responsibilities to learn about the jobs of their colleagues and gain experience so they might eventually have more promotion opportunities. That's employee development.\n\nIn other words employee development is a broader term, that includes training as one, and only one of its methods for encouraging employee learning.\n\nThe important point here is that different activities are better for the achievement of different results. For example, if the the desire is provide an employee with a better understanding of how the department works, job rotation might work very well. If the goal is to improve the employee's ability to use a computer based accounting package direct training would be more appropriate than, let's say, job rotation.

ONLY ONE of my friends of those that attended vocational schools ever did anything worth mentioning; the others are still driving buses or working in Sanitation or working as Maintainers (repair work) in the subway systems or still working in garages as grease-monkeys.  That one person who did this is my buddy of 43 years who also made the sacrifice of going to college and he struggled because of his poor academic skills that he received in vocational school but he buckled down and studied harder and persevered until he got his BA and he is now in a Supervisory position.  My buddy is the exception to the rule, but the exception does NOT make the rule...!\n\nBecause of his college degree and the dogged way of studying and passing exams, he is the youngest and the only one of the supervisors that went up the hierchical ladder because of his college degree, except for a couple of incompetent fools who have cronies in positions of "power" within the Transit system, and those nincompoops are always making a mess of things (they're going to be in a heap of trouble once my buddy retires)!\n\nConsider this: years of being a minor: 21 years; years of being an adult: THE REST OF YOU LIFE!  If you "sacrifice" a few more years (and, believe me, these years will seem to go by so quickly), and you also sacrifice some time away from fun-times, you will have a more comfortable adulthood afterward if you settle into a comfortable routine of studying and getting your work done on time; you will develop good study habits and develop the academic skills to enable you to do well in college, which will prepare you for whatever you wish to do for the rest of your life, and that's an awfully long time!  I speak from experience. \n\nSmart people learn from their mistakes; WISE people learn from the mistakes of others.  WHAT do you prefer to do?

not sure if you can but here's what i'd do.  on separate paper, list Erickson's overall developmental theory(ies) and on another paper, list the ecological systems theory.  by using the cross-matching process, and by the standards you set or were set for you, see if you can match 5 or more out of, say, 10. if you can do that, you're on a (buttered) roll.  if not, you're toast!

sometimes the old carrot and the stick approach is the only way to get results.  \n\nthe 'carrots' here would be the possibility for the person to increase their usefulness to society (practically speaking: a higher wage) by getting trained in a tech school.  you could also let them know about the social contacts they will make, appealing to their emotions. you could give them matrials guiding them towards financial aid packages that are available.\n\nit must be frustrating to you to see someone not get the most out of their talents.  but please remember that the decision ultimately rests with them, not you.  you can point out all the positives of returning to school, but if they really don't want to go, they'll come up with an equally effective rebuttal each time.  eventually, they'll become resentful and tune you out.  thus, the 'stick' might not apply.\n\ni don't know if you had someone specific in mind here, if that affects how much 'persuasion' you're willing to try to give them.  people like to know you're concerned about them.  they don't want you to tell them what to do.  sometimes it's a very fine line... but i know you'll walk it carefully.  good luck!

There is a test....I think called ASCAP....which was incredibly helpful for me.  Most highschool guidance departments will have interest and ability assesment tests available, as well as provide counseling.  The military also has an interest/ability test available at recruitment offices.

Most vocational schools offer the TABE and NET test.  It has been about 8 years since I took it in Orlando and I paid $10 each for them.  Good luck!
