These occupations are organized into five major employment categories: (1) Bench and Service Trades, (2) Building Trades, (3) Clerical and Sales Trades, (4) Health Services, and (5) Metal Trades. Instruction in the classroom, in the shop, and on the job is designed to make the student job-ready.

A comprehensive student supportive system is operated in conjunction with the student employability training. This area deals primarily with the barriers to employment that are usually associated with attitudinal problems. Placement is accomplished by a team consisting of instructors, counselors, and job developers who are working with all trainees to assist them in finding employment as they complete their training. Follow-up is conducted to determine if the training was adequate and to insure that problems that may occur during the first months of a new job are rectified. 290 CONTINUING EDUCATION Richard O.
