Trade Tech Community Open House Slated Friday, Saturday Approximately 20 major exhibits, ex-hibits, each covering an area of study at Utah Technical College Col-lege in Provo, will await the general public this Friday and Saturday at the school's fourth annual community open house. Utah Tech has 17 major departments de-partments of trade and vocational voca-tional training, and each will have a major display, according accord-ing to President Wilson W. Sor-ensen. Sor-ensen. In addition, there will be several special exhibits of programs pro-grams which the school sponsors spon-sors off-campus, such as its fireman training, he said. Open house hours will be from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, Fri-day, March 6, and 9 to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 7. Anyone interested in-terested is invited, emphasized President Sorensen, but particular partic-ular emphasis will be placed on attracting prospective students and their parents particularly particul-arly high school graduates or those who will graduate this year. A high school diploma is not necessary to enter Utah Tech, the president said, but many young people prefer to finish their regular public schooling before embarking on special training toward a trade or vocation. The 17 departments which will feature special exhibits and tours include auto body, auto mechanics, diesel mechanics, mech-anics, office education (secretarial (secre-tarial training, data processing process-ing and general clerical training), train-ing), building construction (carpentry (car-pentry and cabinet making), dental assisting, electronics, electrical el-ectrical and automation technology, tech-nology, drafting and design, commercial art, machine shop, welding, licensed practical nursing, nur-sing, instrument repair, driver education, marketing, and general gen-eral education (optional courses cours-es which a student may take to qualify for the school's two-year two-year associate degree.) About 2,000 attended the open op-en house last year, and arrangements ar-rangements are being made to take care of an even larger day, President Sorensen concluded. |
