Introduction to Special Issue on Rural Skills

Paul L. Swaim

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1995, vol. 10, issue 3

Abstract: This issue of Rural Development Perspectives reports key results from a comprehensive assessment of skill development among the rural workforce that was undertaken by the Economic Research Service (ERS). The main purpose for this assessment was to develop a solid factual foundation for assessing public and private initiatives to improve rural education and job training. Because rural communities and institutions show particular strengths, and weaknesses, some lessons for national efforts to improve workforce skills also emerge.
