V.O.T. Vocational Office Training is a coop- erative work— training program for high school juniors and seniors who are pre- paring for full-time employment in office occupations. It consists of three parts: classroom instruction, on the job train- ing, and leadership training in FBLA. Stu- dents attend regular classes, along with one instructional period of V.O.T. , and are placed in selected offices in the community for on-the-job training after school hours. Students on the quarter system re- ceive five hours of credit each quarter for five hours of classroom instruction. They also receive an additional five hours of credit each quarter for a min- imum of fifteen hours per week of on- the-job training. The coordinator, Mrs. ). Varn, helps the students decide on the job for which they are best suited. After employment, they follow a planned training program under the supervision of the employer and the coordinator.
