On-The-Job Training Prepares Students Students taking occupational skills are exposed to a brief introduction into the construction world. Much is learned concerning basic building construction as one of the first jobs the class became involved with was building a garage. When occupational skills students do an actual construction job outside the classroom, the materials are purchased by the person having the job done, and sometimes all the specifications are done by this person or the company from which the supplies are purchased. During the course of the actual construction, the students always have an opportunity to do some extra specifications. The actual construction is just a minor portion of the learning involved in this skills course. Students must become aware of marketing and costs involved in the building construction industry. WORK-STUDY STUDENTS Gary Lewis, Don Rose, Jon Sandridge, Duane McEntee, Steve Vogel, Dee Dee Haase, and Mary Trujillo join Mr. Morehouse in discussing their jobs away from school. MR.
