Vocational skills Learned by students Senior Lisa Plasencia said vocational courses are ful- filling, fun, and actively in- volve the students. For stu- dents who wanted to enter the vocational field after high school, taking special classes and getting involved in vo- cational classes was the best bet. Business courses such as accounting, typing, sales, ad- vertising, and shorthand were offered to every stu- dent. Clubs such as DECA, FBLA, OEA, OEA Word Processing were formed to get a better understanding of what business is all about. V.O.E. is a great class be- cause it prepares you for your office job and lets you get the feeling of an actual job, said Dinah Oliveras, senior. Other aspects of vocation- al programs were courses such as: metal trades, wood working, auto mechanics, electrical trades, and air con- ditioning. Tliese courses en- abled the students to get a job during or after high school. Junior Eric Ortiz said, Vocational Drafting helped me to get ahead in my career in drafting. Vocational programs of- fered some students an al- ternative to enable them to attend school half a day and work half the day at a vo- cational job thus putting their newly learned skills to use. The Vocational program also consisted of Health Oc- cupations which provided training in health related ca- reers. I felt being in a voca- tional class was a very nec- essary part of my life, it helped me decide on my ca- reer, said Peter Brady, sophomore.
