Competitions are staged on a district, regional and national basis with some Davis High students performing highly on national levels, Mr. King proudly adds. Mr. King sees auto mechanics as a lot more than just learning how to change a spark plug. Its a good class for a potential engineer so he can see the coordination of different parts in a working mechanism. Both men and women must be prepared for the job market, these traditional roles days, as are often reversed. At short notice, a homemaker may be required to provide the sole income for her household, for instance. Vocational training, from high school on up, can provide that lifeg saving training for a job, he emphasizes. Nationally, almost 16 million students are involved in vocational training. Thats divided into 60 percent in secondary programs and the remainder in adult classes. Enrollment is about equally divided between male and female students. While four in five students entering college never graduate, a far higher percentage of those pursuing vocational avenues enter into productive, related employment, Mr. King notes. Davis High and the countys six other high schools operate career guidance centers to assist students in those lifetime decisions, he stresses. We must be flexible when considering job training and future employment, Mr. King indicates. That first job may not now exist. g Education is a pursuit with vocational education helping to give that competitive edge in the workplace. As part of vocational education week, Davis High is welcoming any interested parents and patrons to visit the schools facilities. life-lon- so-call-ed EVERYONE NEEDS AN -- A D Individual Retirement Account good-payin- q THROUGH SATURDAY FEBRUARY 538-671- 2.
