DCT (Diversified Cooperative Training) is a program designed to train high school students, of employable age. occupations by using local businesses and industrial establishments as training agencies. These businesses create an environment in which the youths of high schools can discover themselves and their relationship to soci- ety. Since the students come from varied social-economic backgrounds, the DCT program is flexible enough to meet their individual needs, and help the students to discover and cultivate their unique capa- bilities. The students arc required to take one hour of related instructions a day. Here at King, the class is held during zero period, before school. The on-the-job training aver- ages about fifteen hours a week. This gives the DCT members a chance to experience a working job. DCT members feel that they can sum up their beliefs by saying. The future of tomorrow depends on the fortune of today ', and with this in mind, they set out to do the best job that they can possibly do. DCT 165
