Junior and senior students interested in having part-time jobs involved themselves with the work programs. They chose a work program that best suited their interests. Distributive Education, Office Education, Industrial Cooperative Education, Cooperative Work Training, and Personal and Public Occupations, were some of the programs from which interested students could choose. Approximately one hundred and eighty-five students attended school for half of the day, depending on their work schedules. When the students were not in school, they were working on the job. Various local businesses such as Joliet Pattern Company, Joliet Auto Parts Center, and T. J. Maxx Department Store, hired these students. Students had a coordinator who found them a practical job to suit their skills. Along with their job, they had to enroll in a classroom course that involved learning skills related to their job. Writing resumes, filling out applications and learning to talk with an interviewer were activities included in the course. For this experience the student earned one credit for the classroom course and two from the employer. A total of three credits could have been earned by each student. gg g.,y ....,,, , ,tl ,,.W G , st g f, g,,,.,, Busrness!Work Programs 89 wg
