ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION The rapid expansion of the national econonny and the in- creasing development of new electrical products is providing a growing need for qualified people to install and maintain electrical equipment. Between 5,000 and 10,000 additional tradesmen are required each year. It is expected that the total requirements for electri- cal tradesmen will increase tremendously during the next decade. This curriculum will provide training in the basic knowl- edge, fundamentals, and practices involved in the elec- trical trades. A large portion of the program is devoted to lab- oratory and shop instruction which is designed to give the student practical knowledge and application experience in the fundamentals taught in class.

NURSE ' S ASSISTANT The nurse ' s assistant program provides training for people wishing to work in the health field. This course upgrades the skills of those presently employed as nonprofessionals in health care. Training opportunities for men in health care are expanded by their participation in this program. The nurse assistant program is one quarter (11 weeks) in length and is offered as frequently as a sufficient number of students are available. Duties required of nurse assistants will vary from one hospital to another; however the subjects taught in this curriculum are common to all hospitals, child care nurseries, nursing homes, and home nursing. The student must satisfactorily complete 330 hours of instruction consisting of classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences. At the end of eleven weeks, the student is ready for employment in hospital, rest homes, and in private patient care positions. The graduate receives a certificate and may use the title of Certified Nurse Assistant. 41
