| Abstract/Contents: | "The Arizona Certified Landscape Professional conducts educational programs and certification exams to increase the knowledge and skills of landscapers. To ensure that the program accurately reflects industry needs, we conducted a job analysis survey. Over 100 individuals in 48 landscape organizations responded. Two-thirds of the organizations were 'for profit' as opposed to municipal parks departments, school districts, and resorts. Half the 'for profit' organizations were small with gross receipts of less than $100,000 annually. Forty percent of the 'for profit' organizations were devoted exclusively to landscape maintenance, 28 percent were restricted to installation, and the remainder did both installation and maintenance. Size and nature ('for profit' or 'in house') of the organization had a significant impact on tasks and responsibilities of employees. These data will be used to modify the educational programs and certification exams to more closely resemble day-to-day activities among landscapers in Arizona." |
