Attitudes of veterans toward vocational guidance services

Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine what attitudes toward the guidance process were held by 164 veterans who had received counseling at the V.A. Guidance Center at Stevens Institute of Technology in 1945 and 1946. In comparison with data obtained from a non-veteran group which was counseled and later queried in a survey by the Psychological Corporation, the results were similar. The Stevens study suggests that in spite of limitations in time and money, the veterans believed that they had profited from the VA program of educational and vocational guidance.
