In addition to those occupations already noted, there are other occupations of a professional nature requiring extensive education beyond that received at secondary and post secondary levels.
A regional delivery system should offer training for occupations in this field as determined by employment opportunities and the needs of the students.
Training received in this program is used as a basis for entry level into the labor market and for further training at the post secondary level. Work site learning experiences are encouraged to provide experiences that cannot be duplicated in the classroom. Articulation between the secondary and post secondary programs will be a part of the regional delivery system.
Workplace skills, as well as 1) skills used in work performance
that are transferable across jobs and occupations and that are instrumental
to job and classroom success, 2) skills used to manage life's transitions,
and 3) skills employed in the resolution of interpersonal, information
or task-related problems or problems related to behavior in cooperative
group settings, should be included in this curriculum. Leadership
skill development is an integral part of this program and is delivered
through career and technical student organization activities (e.g.
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and Business Professionals
of America (BPA). Individualized instruction and learning reinforcement
are provided through cooperative career and technical education programs,
as well as classroom instruction. Communication skills (thinking,
listening, composing, revising, editing, and speaking) will be integrated
throughout the course.
Industry Certifications - Regional systems are encouraged to provide opportunities for students to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to meet the industry certifications associated with this program. It is recommended that the related industry certification content be integrated within the core content at the preparation level.

is spent taking classes at school, and the other half in on-the-job
training supervised by the designated training sponsor and coordinated
by the teacher-coordinator. The related class at school is planned
to develop skills and attitudes that are applied on the job. A training
plan is developed jointly by the teacher-coordinator, training sponsor,
and student that identifies training to be provided. Training in
the related class at school focuses upon the student's career and
technical education, with additional assignments based upon areas
where on-the-job performance indicates a need. Related instruction
also includes workplace skills such as seeking and applying for employment,
communicating on the job, maintaining professionalism, workplace
ethics, etc.
Current generation equipment is utilized in this course to develop
information management competencies required for employment in this
cluster of careers. Instruction involves the use of simulations and
computer-assisted instruction, as well as specific application software
for database management, accounting, word processing, financial modeling,
business graphics and communications between information processing
systems.
