The vocational component for students 15 to 21 years of age is presented in the same format though science and leisure time skills are omitted. The work study program is described in terms of objectives (such as participation in a productive way of life), eligibility, school responsibilities, community canvassing, and task analyses of work stations such as the library aide. Illustrations show skill components for occupational areas of homemaking, housekeeping, food services building trades, auto skills, and garden/nursery work. Included are attachments such as child labor provisions.
