Today's Secondary Schools

Available Opportunities for Occupational ProgramsOccupational programs often combine job-situation train-ing in the school with periods of actual on- the -lob workexpenence. They are designed to equip students withskills that are in demand in the current labour marketOpportunities are open both for lobs and for furthertraining. -

Students completing successfully one or more yearsof asecondary school OccupatiorialsEdudation programreceive a Certificate of Training. Most courses in theoccupational program have credit value and maybe usedto complete the requirements for the Secondary SchoolGraduation Diploma

After fivo years of an occupational program, somestudents go on to apprenticeship training and beginearning while they learn the basic skills of a trade Otherscontinue working towards a Secondary School Gradua-tion Diploma.

Vocational training offered in secondary schoolsincludes a pre-vocational approach for those intending toseek employment immediately after graduation. inte-grated studiesof various technologies intended to assiststudents in choosing a post-secondary program, and -vocational courses intended to satisfy general or introduc-tory interest in this area.

For a number of students in Ontario vocational andoccupational programs provide interest and incentrve inprep*ing for jobs or for helper education

next section, Alternatives and Venetians, con-tains suggestions for students who wish to join thelabour and are at the same time interested incontinuing r studies.

Are they any Ty school ol programs whichinclude Y/OfiC experience?

Work-experiencework experience is ng an integral part of anincreasing number of . school courses Astudent taking a course that includes a work- experiencecomponent usually spends ones two weeks during theschool year in business or Indust* where on-the-jobacties reinforce specific aspects of the in:schoolcourse.

The time spent in work experience provides studentswith opportunifiet to observe real work situations in theirchosen area of interest and to apply theories andpractical skins learned at school.

Co-operative educationCo-operative education for credit combines educationthat is available in the community with education ayailablein the school .

Co-operative education, although similar to workexpenence. differs in two fundamental ways First inco-operative education, scheduled penods oftme areusually spent in the out-of-school environment throughoutthe entire school year These out -of- school activities mustnot exceed one-third of the time scheduled for a creditSecond. certain components of a learning expenence areprovided by the school, while other components arecovered by the cooperating body

However, these programs are not suitable for allstudents. The onus to learn and Study is on the studentand there is less direct praSsure to perform. It is assumedthat the adult student is there because he or she wants tolearn. The resulting atmosphere, which is responsibleble andmature, is conduave to learning for some teenagers.while others might find it constricting.

In addition to credit courses, many rept schools offerattractive non- credit courses for personal interest orenrichment. Many regular secondary school studentspursue hobbies through such courses. However, a
