Abstract
Nowadays, the public vocational training facilities have been reorganized starting from 1978 when the vocational training law was revised. Later, the human resources development promotion law was established in 1985. This paper attempts to analyze the actual state of reorganization of public vocational training facilities after 1978. Namely, to put it more concretely, this paper made clear relation between training of skilled workers and vocational training college, skill development centre, prefectural vocational training facilities, authorized vocational training facilities, computer college. The results are as follows: (1) Object of cultivation in vocational training college is training of "technician" which is acquired technics and skill. In training curriculum, experiment, practical training and technical subject of information technology, electronics were attached great importance. (2) The prefectural vocational training facilities have been implementing the reorganization since the role-sharing between the prefectural vocational training facilities and the Employment Promotion Corporation's vocational training facilities was decided. For example, in Fukuoka prefecture, the occupational capability redevelopment training has been gradually decreasing. Also in initial training, training courses unrelated to regional industry were converted or have actually been abolished. The other hand, in Kanagawa prefecture, the system of vocational training was converted from "type in kind of work training" to "type of job family-unit training". (3) The vocational training college within enterprise has training course in relation to micro-electronics-based technology, such as mecha-tronics, electronic-machinery, information technology, and trains new type labour force as "technician". (4) A condition of entrance into computer college show us that industry high school graduates have been decreasing, and non-industry highschool graduates gradually have been increasing. The educational programme in computer college was restricted to occupational qualification. The Expense of computer college is less cheap than miscellaneous school, however we must not lessen expense of computer college thouth computer college charges Employment Promotion Corporation 750,000 yen a student for expense. A half the vocational training instructors are dispatched from juridical person for vocational training to computer college. (5) Thus, a expansion of off-the-job training has clarified a limit of training within enterprise, and include an opportunity which labour can require development and upgrading of their vocational capability. Consequently, from the point of view a lifelong training, it is necessary to expand and provide organization for acquirement of vocational ability to be applied high technology and social enviroment: public vocational training.
