Variety of Settings - There are a variety of settings in secondary and postsecondary schools.
High schools provide time periods and often bussing for vocational instruction.
Postsecondary education programs are normally conducted at Community Colleges. The vocational curriculum is divided into academic, personal and vocational. Typically vocational teachers use real-life situations to reinforce classroom and laboratory instruction. They incorporate leadership and occupational skill training into their programs to insure improved performance and to develop future leaders. To accomplish this several programs and methods of instruction have been developed and funded, such as, the Tech Prep Program, Cooperative Education, and Internships and Practicums.
