INDUSTRIAL COOPERATIVE TRAINING Industrial Cooperative Training is a joint effort of schools and employers in business and industry to provide on-the-job training for high school juniors and seniors in oc- cupational areas of their own choice. It provides supervised occupational experiences enabling student-learners to acquire skills and to gain understanding of their chosen careers. The Industrial Cooperative Training Pro- gram is a practical and rewarding experience for every participant because the program offers an opportunity for students who need or want to work during their junior and senior years in high school. Mr. Charles Von Canon, Industrial Cooperative Training I and II, explains the opportunities of the program to Donald Langley. Mrs. Carolyn Taylor, Cooperative Distributive Education I and II, and Basic Business, explains to her class how to use a More modern business phone.

Both the students and their employ- ers benefit from this program. H { i eS ee ee eee ee oe SR eS ee Pe Pe ee OR en ne We Re
