VOCATIONAL EDUCATION STAFF Recognizing the needs of large groups of young men for training in skilled trades, the Division of Vocational Education at Arkansas Poly- technic College offers courses in woodworking (both carpentry and cabinet making), auto mechanics, and machine shop. These non-credit courses, terminal in nature, are designed to enable the student to progress individually to gain the necessary proficiency as quickly as possible so that he may take his place in productive industry. Arkansas Polytechnic College has complete and modern workshops for training students in woodworking, auto mechanics, and machine shop. Through donation and purchase of machines and equipment released by the United States Army, the College has been able to expand greatly its training facilities in those fields. Equipment in the various shops is valued at more than $200,000. While the College does not guarantee placement of its vocational graduates, it maintains an employment advisory service to assist in placing such graduates in suitable employment. FAULDS, VINCENT R.
