The Black and Gold 1977
Job prospects spur enrollment in Business Cooperative Education
Encouraged by the promising prospects of job opportunities, an increasing number of students
enrolled in Business Education this year.
As student interest in the business world mounted, the department found it necessary to offer a broad scope of the operations by purchasing new sophisticated equipment comparable to the ones used in offices today. Eight new calculators, ten adding machines, and a terminal computer enabled more practice on business math problems.
In May the department hosted the State Youth Conference sponsored by the business teachers and the State. Participants were tested in their specialized business fields such as Typing and Shorthand.
Courses offered included Typing, Shorthand, Accounting, General Business, Office Practice and Business Machines.
Allowing students to maintain a job during school hours while earning credits toward graduation was the primary purpose of Cooperative Education, which included Office Education, Distributive Education, Home Economics, Industrial Education and Agriculture. The program offered its enrollees the opportunity to learn all the aspects of credit and handling money, work experience, and a chance to gain good references. Students earn a half credit per 250 hours semester.
Coop-ed teacher Mrs. Jerrianne Edralin hoped to have a class for all students in the mornings so that they can discuss their jobs and learn from each other's problems.
