On Duty Participants prepare for their careers Erin Bronstein and Elizabeth Griel
Learning practical applications of knowledge was important in hool. However not all that learning could occur in the building or iring school hours as shown through Work Experience, Auto Club td VICA (Vocational Industrial Club of America). The Work Experience club was an outreach program of the iversified Occupations curriculum. The m embership of the group insisted of the students in the senior-dominated course. The goal of e group was to organize a banquet for students, employers and trents to honor all for a year of hard work. During the banquet, the 'Oup presented two awards, one for student of the year and one for nployer of the year. Another organization which sought to train students for the ture was Auto Club. Even if the students were not going into the echanical career of automobile repair, they could still have learned >W to work on their own vehicle. Auto Club helped the members am about different mechanical problems and how to then fix those ·oblems. Auto Club also taught responsibility of maintaining and :iving vehicles. Only in its second year, VICA once again had great success in its 1mpetitions. The organization worked toward the contest by achievg the nationally sponsored goals. Like Work Experience, the embers came from the various curriculums of the C.A.A.T. pro·am allowing the students to continue their learning outside the ass room. If a student wished to prepare for his future, all he had to do was ok around him; the opportunities were there.
