Practical Experience Insures Jobs Did you ever wish that you could leave school early each afternoon? The Distributive Education students don ' t have to wish. Their learning experience is not confined to the six-period-a-day schedule since the DE program combines classroom instruction with the experience of on-the-job training. Many employers are so satisfied with the work of their DE employee that a job is available for the student after his graduation. Leonard J. Rose, Sr. B.S.
