Survey says new workers lack skill
By Rod Griffin
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA - New employees lack basic skills, a survey of 618 Kansas businesses concluded.
Charles Krider, professor of business, presented the results of the survey yesterday to the House Education Committee. The survey was prepared by the Institute for Public Policy and Business Research at the University of Kansas.
Krider said the survey's focus was on preparing non college-bound people for the work force.
"A great concern nationally is that workers are not prepared adequately to enter the work force," Krider said.
The survey included a list of skills that Kansas companies found lacking in new workers.
Such skills include writing, problem solving, listening and oral communication.
Krider said that employees also faced problems of continued training because technology was changing rapidly and employees were in constant need of new training. He said businesses and vocational schools needed to work more closely together.
"The skill areas that are high on that list are in areas of basic academic skills." Kruler said.
He suggested a number of options to improve the skills of workers.
"Vocational-technical programs should integrate training of basic
"Getting closer cooperation between education and business is important," he said.
Krider also described customized training programs. Companies could make special agreements with area vocational-technical schools or community colleges to train their employees.
"If workers are better trained and better skilled, a firm will be more competitive," Krider said. "Technical preparation programs should be established and funded in secondary schools to provide secondary vocational-technical students with more rigorous training in principles of technology, applied math, and applied science."

Lawyer asks court to delay Dey's hearing
By a Kansan reporter
Ralling, 708 Arizona St., died Sunday afternoon in his home from a gunshot wound to the head, Lawrence police said.
Allen withdrew from Dey's case yesterday because of his "prior representation of one of the state's material witnesses." he said.
A hearing to determine if 17-year-old Nathan Shaman Dey will be tried as an adult for the shooting death of 18-year-old Geoffrey Railing was postponed yesterday, according to the Douglas County district attorney's office.
Dey, 2009 Oxford Road, is charged with second-degree murder in Railing's death.
District Court Judge Jean F. Shepherd postponed the hearing after Milton P. Allen Jr., Dey's attorney, asked the court for the delay until a psychological evaluation of Dey could be completed.
The hearing was rescheduled for Feb. 1.
Chris Mulvenon, police spokesman, said yesterday that the investigation of the case was 90 to 95 percent complete.
