Many states have their own vocational and technical education curriculum centers. These centers provide an array of information, technical assistance, and curriculum materials for the field. Again, you may want to consult with your State SLR for further information regarding the centers. This information was collected from the 1993 Directory of State and Vocational Technical Education Curriculum Centers, published by the East Central Curriculum Center, University of Illinois at Springfield.
