This program guide has been developed to provide information that will be useful to local school district and community college administrators, instructors, program advisory committee members, regional coordinating councils, and others charged with the responsibility of offering vocational education programs in Florida. It identifies the major concerns that should be considered in the organization, operation, and evaluation of a vocational education program. The first section of the guide, concerning legal authority, relates to vocational education programs in general. The remaining four sections relate specifically to the basic precision machining and precision machining programs. Those sections contain information on program content, student admissions and teacher standards, facilities, and instructor resources. Appendixes to the guide provide facilities diagrams, organization charts for Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, and curriculum frameworks and student performance standards for basic precision and precision machining.
