The diversified occupations program is designed to provide vocational training in a trade on a part- time basis for high school students during their junior and senioryears. The students spend half the day in school study and the other half of the day in on-the-job training as an employee. During the time in employment, the student is learning the occupation he is interested in, and prac- ticingit at the same time. The student's school time is devoted to prescribed high school courses and to a study of the related technical information of the occupation for which he is being trained on the job. -:Bbw 4-1 Linda DeMasi receiving on-the-job training as a beau- tician from lVlr.
