That includes 25 percent increase in utility and related costs due to new facilities,. two addition office occupation instructors, another computer programming teacher and one additional welding and diesel mechanics teacher each. To improve a placement followup program to determine student training and job effectiveness, an additional staff member is also sought there along with a couple administration-relate- d posts. Need stems back to continued demand in many programs, with a large waiting list for office occupations, and addition of the two staff would allow afternoon and evening classes, leading to what Mr. Shell hopes will eventually be a center open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and Saturdays. The computer programming, on the other hand, is one of the fastest growing programs.
