Every morning 138 students hopped onto three Exeter buses to travel to the Berks Vocational-Technical Schools to enlarge their educational experiences in ways not available at their home school. Exeter students joined others from 15 county schools in their interest in vocational fields because they realized increased automation and technology require specialized skills. The programs at Oley’s East Center and Leesport's West Center provide skills, knowledge, techniques, and attitudes to enable high school graduates to enter their desired field upon graduation or after further study in their field. The course offerings which range from air conditioning to welding may be a two or three year program meeting industrial, technological and service developments in the studied area. To become a vo-tech student, the applicant must fill out a preliminary application requiring a parent’s signature. If accepted, the student spends the morning at the vo-tech school and the afternoon at the home school, thus enriching both facilities with his range of experiences. Between the two schools, each student receives the required subjects for graduation as specified by the Department of Education for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
