Apprenticeship,
Community Classroom (CC), and Cooperative Vocational Education (CVE) have
proven to be extremely effective methods of instruction and are unique
in that they provide a combination of related classroom instruction and
paid or unpaid on-the-job training. In addition to using lectures and
demonstrations, Apprenticeship, CC and CVE are seen as important options
for the ROP teacher to assist students in developing occupational competencies. |
| 
|
The Apprenticeship, CC and CVE methods of instruction
enable the educational process to be shared between the ROP teacher and
the manager/employer of the on-the-job training station. The students’
vocational preparation is, therefore, jointly planned and supervised. This
shared responsibility for learning is facilitated through the use of a written
individualized training plan. The plan ensures that the students at the
training station experience a progression of learning activities.
These methods of instruction are mutually beneficial to not only students
and employers, but also the ROP. Employers have access to a pool of potential
employees with proven occupational competencies. Students have attained
a realistic understanding of the workplace, developed appropriate work habits,
and have established training and employment records. ROP also benefits
in its reduction of equipment and facility costs. The Apprenticeship/CC/CVE
instruction thus allows students to good jobs, while giving businesses the
opportunity to help both youths and adults become better prepared for the
world of work.
