Program Introduction

The Diversified Occupations (D.O.) Program prepares students to have marketable job skills upon graduation. The program provides job training opportunities, increases skills through individual and class study, and encourages attitudes and habits that meet employment standards. Skill training is provided on location at local business or industry sites for students seeking employment in occupations other than those for which a career or technical program exists at State High. Students meet one period per day in the classroom and have the opportunity to work with cooperating employers during the afternoon and other normal working hours through Cooperative Work Experience (CWE). In order to participate in CWE, students MUST maintain a "C" average in all of their classes. D.O. is designed for all students regardless of post-secondary plans. A student must be 16

be 16 years old and may only enter this program their senior year.
