This class includes programs that prepare students both for higher education and for employment in specific vocational pursuits. While academic subjects are offered, emphasis is placed on vocational/technical subjects either as preparation for a range of more advanced vocational/technical programs or for a specific occupation.

The programs consist of the following areas of concern: (a) trade, craft and industries, (b) agriculture, and (c) fisheries. The principal subject-matter content of these programs include the regular school curriculum at this level but with more attention and time to elementary drafting, blueprint reading, and a range of technical subjects depending on the studentNULLs interests.
