This is a speech given by President Jay L. Nelson about the value of education - specifically the value of Trade School education based on statistical information about the value of higher education in relationship to the job market in the 1970s. The emphasis of his comments are on "where you can find tremendous opportunities for occupational success." Aimed at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints audience, the presentation ends with "your dream of financial security and success woulc well being in a high school vocational class, a business choool or a technical college or at some other institution which places emphasis on preparation for jobs rather than on academic degress."

This document of a speech given by President Nelson emphasizes the importance of Salt Lake trade Technical Institute and its relationship with tax payers. It also outlines what SLTTI does, the type of classes offered, the populations of individuals served and how the Day School and the Evening School are differentiated. There is also an emphasis on the relationship between the College and the larger community.

SLTTI's Official Response to Commentary on the Subject of Combining SLTTI with a Junior College. This response highlights the conflation of trade-techincal schools and junior colleges which often occurs, especially from "young people because of inadequate understanding of the post high school problem by the people to whom the public looks for information." Overall, this response advocates the need of both trade-techinical education and junior college educations with the understanding that it is not as simply as blending these two types of educations into one.

This presentation on the Need for SLTTI was given on two occasions by President Jay L. Nelson. The first occasion was a presentation to the Salt Lake Rotary Club on Tuesday, October 5, 1965. The second occasion was a presentation to the Kiwanis Club given on December 2, 1965. Originally accompanied by 35mm slides, this speech begins with an anecdote about Brigham Young and is followed with a history of the College and the importance of Trade Tech in Utah.

The emphasis of his comments are on "where you can find tremendous opportunities for occupational success." This is followed by a very brief encapsulated view of the activities of Utah Tech and the options provided by Utah Tech.
