JOBS VICA AND VICA II l LEARNING WHILE THEY EARN I ----Y What does VICA stand for? Valiant Iguana Catchers Association ? Vain Intelligent Cannibals of America '? Or maybe Very Important Czechoslava- kian Authors '? No. Though it seems like only an elite group knows what VICA really stands for - Vocational Industrial Clubs of America - the Pine Forest chapter is part of over 277,000 nationwide members. These students are enrolled in over 12,000 vo- cational training programs across the country. In VICA, students 'flearn while they earn.', If nothing else, they gain valu- able practical work experience. As a VICA member, each one is able to par- ticipate in regional competitive events, as well as community, school and social activities, all on a voluntary basis. Regular VICA activities include working on a Homecoming float, spon- soring a needy family at Christmas, and spotlighting National Vocational Week. They also have an end of the year social. The main event, however, is the annual Employee-Employer Appre- ciation Banquet. The Job Training Program is a coop- erative effort between the Job Training Service Center and the Cumberland 14 clubs County School System to blend re- sources and perspectives in meeting the needs of students. Classroom instruc- tion emphasized pre-employment train- ing, job development, development of appropriate work attitudes, and simu- lated work experiences. This yearis JOBS had several inter- esting speakers from the business com- munity. Representatives from Rutledge College, Carolina Telephone Company, Kelly Springfield, the Social Security office, H 8: R Block, and Guarantee Savings and Loan spoke to club mem- bers. Also, the club went on a field trip to Fayetteville Technical Institute. The highlight of the year was a new work experience program that JOBS partici- pated in called TRY-ME-OUT, Em- ployer-Youth Partnership. This pro- gram is made available through the JOBS Partnership Act, and is intended to promote employment opportunities for JTPA eligible youths ages 16-21. It is sponsored by the Private Industry Council CPICJ and the Board of County Commissioners of Cumberland County. The year ended for JOBS with an annual Employee-Employer Banquet held at Fayetteville Country Club.
