The cooperative part-time training courses provided instruction for high school 86 FFA students who had an interest in and a voca- tional need for becoming established in an off-farm agriculture occupation. Cooperative part-time training in voca- tional agriculture was designed to provide technical instruction, on-the-job training, and work experience for high school vocational agriculture students preparing to enter employment in agricultural occupations. Students in the cooperative training course spent one hour in class each school day to receive instruction in the occupations tor which they were training and three con- secutive hours every school day at training stations in order to learn the occupations. Training stations were agricultural businesses in the community that were cooperating with the local school in training students by providing experience necessary to become competent employees. ,. 5' sr, lk X P ' , . - 3 Q - k Lagaixgm ,z W at i , r iti. g - ,-i. . - N Q' -i':. .s-. tt, t..
