It contributes to general education and to vocational preparation. Experiences are provided to determine the student's interests and aptitude in accounting as an occupation, to develop the ability to prepare financial records, to interpret the information, and to apply it to the conduct of business activities.
Emphasis is placed on accounting theory.
The students will have an opportunity to complete two separate accounting simulations to get a feel of what accountants and bookkeepers do on the job. Areas of study include basic math skills, personal financial records, buying and selling, and credit. This course may be used as a math credit for those students not attending a four year college. This program is planned and supervised by both the teacher-coordinator and employer. This course will further develop essential skills in keyboarding and formatting documents using AppleWorks 6.0 software for Macintosh computers.
