I firmly believe thot a Diversified Career Skills or Trodts Training Program should be implemented in ail of North Corolino's public schools. In view of the fact thot many persons who hove groduoted from colleges or universities ore unemployed or underemployed, it becomes apparent that college olone does not necessoriiy prepare a person for a productive career or o contributing member of society. Ideolisticolly, every young person should hove the oooortunitv to attend college for their own growth ood development. In reality, however, many young persons' efforts and goals are frustrated by the hordships of ■ ottoining o college education IF they were able to overcome the borriers of entering college (finonciol, tests, forms, etc.) in the first place. Discouraging experiences of this nature often leod to dropping out of college. The high school drop-out problem and its consequences is o ivell-known phenomenon. All this points to the dire need to prepare our youth for gainful employment. A Diversified Career Skills or Trodes Training Program offered to students from the 5th grode upward, would provide youths with the much needed eody exposure ond, hence, on opportunity to develop ond reolize their interests and tolents. Whether or not they will hove to utilize these skills to earn o living later on, their preparedness certainly will enhance their economic self-sufficiency and ability to meet the challenges of mony Against Howard’s Dr. James E. t^lhcck .Jifi PC .rx 1‘ JTetfi ca., '2>t. lOTdflTia t, 4 Guards Allege Misuse ¥¥¥¥ •k ir ir ir At Raleigh's (Antral Prison ir ir it ir MB.
