WEBER COLLEGE - OGDEN, UTAH 23 Weber College is a junior college offering two years of lower division college preparatory work, and two years or less of terminal work. The Terminal Division, as organized in Weber College, includes all of those programs of study which culminate in two years or less, and all of those courses which are numbered 50 and above. Its purpose is largely to prepare students to enter the semi-professions and the trades. Many academic subjects numbered below 50, however, are included in the programs of study for semi-professions and trades. Authorities on the junior college point out three occupational areas: (1) the professions, the training for which requires a college course of at least four years' duration, and a degree; (2) the semi-professions, the training for which requires the completion of a college course of approximately two years in length; and (3) the trades. The Terminal Division is established in order that students may qualify for the latter two occupational areas and for cultural education. An occupational survey made by Weber College revealed a community need for practical vocational work in a vocational school. In the year 1937 Weber College initiated an annual occupational survey of the work opportunities in the college locality. The first survey revealed the fact that there is a shortage of skilled mechanics as well as of competent well-trained persons for distributive and business work. Since there had not been an apprentice program in the state before the year 1936, there had been but few apprentices trained during the depression period. Men in the trades had grown old, and many of them had changed to other occupations, the condition thus creating room for younger persons with good training. All this emphasized the need for practical vocational trade work in a vocational school. The aim of the vocational courses, therefore, is to give complete training in the fundamentals of the trade or business occupations, so that the student will be qualified to enter employment or eventually go into business for himself. Instruction is given in the shops, in the laboratories, and on practical jobs. In addition, instruction is given in technical theory and knowledge, and in those related subjects that all occupational workers must master in order to become proficient in their respective occupations. Trades and Industries, Business and Distributive Education Programs are organized for students of Day School, Evening, and Part-time classes. Trades and Industries The Day School Trade Preparatory Courses are of two types: The Type "A" Trade Course is one in which the related subjects are taught in segregated classes, apart from the practical shop work. In courses of this type, 50 per cent of the school time, which must be not less than three consecutive clock hours in one day, and not less than fifteen hours a week, is given to "practical work on a useful or productive basis," and from 25 to 35 per cent of the school time to related subjects. The balance is given to general subjects. The time used may exceed the standards which are stated. A total of thirty clock hours of instruction a week must be carried.
