74 WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH The responsibility of the Vocational Education Department does not end with the graduation of the students. Close cooperation and coordination with industry exist at all times. Courses offered are those in which there are placement opportunities. The teachers and coordinators are constantly in contact with conditions in the trades which they teach. They also assist graduates to obtain and hold industrial jobs. Units of the Trade Department are the Day School, the Evening Classes, and the Part-Time Classes. The Day School, which occupies the students' entire time from 9:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m., provides courses in the semi-professions and day trade preparatory courses. The trade preparatory courses require three hours a day (fifteen hours a week) in shop or laboratory practice where work is done on a useful or productive basis, and three hours a day (fifteen hours a week) in technical instruction related to the trade which is taught. The Evening Classes are conducted at the school from 7:00 p. m. to 10:00 p. m.
