able attention, both from the stu
dents who benefit from the train
ing offered and the businesses
and industries that cooperate in
'sselr.,:.S = y.oyiue this training.
lbs ~DivS .ls0 Occupation
program is essentially a coop
erative effort. whereby business
and industry join with seenior
high schools in the actual train
ing of boys and girls for employ
n1ent.
Before a pupil is assigned 10
the program. he must, with the
aid Of the co-ordinator, select a
specific occupation in whic h
training is desired. The co-ordina-
tor will find a local industry who
will agree to take the student in
to his business and train him. The
student will be in an on-the- job
training status and will receive
pay after having acquired neces-
sary skills that will enable him or
her to be of service to the Indus
try.
Students following this program
spent a minimum Of Is hours per
week in on-the-job training. The
required length of the course is
2 years. For satisfactory per-
formance and progress, the stu
dent receives two High School
Units. The course is definitely a
part of the stuGent's High School
