Courses offered in distributive education, typewriting, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office machines (COP-VOT) develop skills which are much in demand among the employers of the area. A number of students ben- efit, too, from actual work experience combined with their classroom training under the Distributive Education and Vocational Office Training programs. These and other students may also take Civil Service examinations for typists and stenographers and become certified for summer or permanent employ- ment after graduation. In addition, one-semester courses are offered to students who want typing and notehand only as useful tools to aid in their college careers.
