Diversified Cooperative Trainin The D.C.T. program is the vocational part-time train- ing program for high school seniors who are bound for skilled areas of work, In this program, students spend one-half clay in classes studying subjects related to their iobs as well as other school subiects. The other half is spent with cooperating employers where the students receive on-the-job training. One student says, D.C.T. has been the most rewarding thing I've ever participated in. Another says, The D.C.T. program is one that is needed by all schools to help the people who are not particularly college-bound. lt helps one learn what it is like to work at a iob that really requires skill, lt also helps us, the students, realize that the community will bend over back- wards to help us face lite after we graduate. gi i ' N ,fx Larry Thompson and his employer discuss the intricacies of an outboard motor.
