As a result of this growth, RBC graduates have an increased number of job opportunities. These range from positions in professional offices to jobs in huge corporations. This year, in accordance with the aim for progress, Red Bank Cath- olic’s Business Department has initiated a Job Analysis Program. Its purpose is to evaluate the adequacy of the department and to determine the steps necessary to maintain its present high standard. A five-year evaluation project is being conducted which will attempt to measure actual in-service employment and the capabilities of graduates. Questionnaires supply the department with information concerning various types of work, the training required, and high school subjects considered most important for business students. The Business Department prepares students to meet the demands of the modern business world. Courses available in the complete program of study are Stenography I and II; Typewriting I and II; Bookkeeping; Business Law; Spanish I and II; Record Keeping; Business English; Gen- eral Business; Consumer Mathematics; and newly-added Economics. In addition to this, The Business Education Club, under the guidance of Sister Mary Alma, provides interested students with the opportunity of gaining knowledge from local business personnel. This aids students in selecting jobs for which they are best qualified. Business Law students plan a trip to Free- hold Court House.
