DI VERSIFIED OCCUPA TIONS Diversified occupations fD.O.J is a program new to Effingham High School this year.

The students alternate on a half day basis between study in school and training on the job as an employee. During the time in employ- ment, the student is learning the occupation and prac ticing the skills.
