VANCOUVER INSTITUTE 2 S O West Pender wanCiuwSft m9 mm€iu t i j Phone Mutual 1-8111 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This Prospectus was printed by the Vocational Curriculum Division of the Technical Branch, Department of Education, Province of British Columbia GENERAL INFORMATION The Vancouver Vocational Institute is operated by the Vancouver Board of School Trustees with financial assistance and the co-operation of the Canadian Vocational Training Branch, Department of Labour, Government of Canada and the Technical Branch, Department Education, Province of British Columbia. The training is designed to prepare young men and women for gainful employment in trade or industry. Each department has its own advisory committee, consisting of representatives of Labour and Management, and these committees assist and advise in all matters pertaining to the training programme. I. POSSIBLE TRAINEES The training in the Institute will be of special assistance to four main groups of people: — (a) Students who have completed their high school education, and who wish to take short, intensive practical courses or advanced Technical Training before entering desired employment. (b) People who require upgrading in their own particular occupation. (c) People who, due to injury or lack of interest in their present occupations, wish to rehabilitate themselves in some new line of endeavour. (d) New Canadians who wish to familiarize themselves with our local conditions and customs before seeking employment, A reasonable command of written and spoken English is required. II. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS Applicants for training in the Institute must be at least 16 years of age and have at least Grade X educa tlonal standing, or its equivalent. Grade XII is preferred for a number of occupations. The main require¬ ments for the Navigation and Engineering Courses are service time and experience. Educational qualifi¬ cations of older people are assessed on the basis of personal interview. III. STUDENT HOURS The Institute operates on a seven-hour day (8.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.); a five-day week, and a twelve-month year, and the courses range from ten weeks to twelve months in length with the addition of a two-year pro¬ gramme for advanced technical training. IV. GENERAL COURSE PROCEDURE In most courses, the number of students is limited so that individual attention and close supervision may be given. All the courses are practical in nature, but all practice is supplemented by a thorough study of the principles involved. V. APPRENTICESHIP Students in the Building and Metal Trades are encouraged to enter apprenticeships in their particular field. The Apprenticeship Act of British Columbia requires that any person under 21 years of age must be appren¬ ticed to an employer if he is to work in a designated trade. Hence, any person under the age of 21, engaged in one of the above trades, must complete his apprenticeship before qualifying for the status and wage of a journeyman. The person who is 21 years or over may, and should, be apprenticed, if he wishes to master the trade and attain recognized journeyman status. Graduates of the Institute normally receive time and money credits for th^ir respective courses. VI. COUNSELLING AND PLACEMENT SERVICE Each student is interviewed before enrolling and is given guidance in the selection of a suitable course. , While employment is not guaranteed by the Institute, a placement service is maintained to assist students to find employment in their particular fields of work on completion of training. VII. LENGTH OF COURSE Courses vary in length from 10 weeks to 12 months. The times indicated for the various courses listed in this booklet are, in most cases, the maximum periods required, A student is eligible for placement when he has reached a sufficiently high standard to hold a position in his own particular occupation. Early attainment of this standard may reduce the time in the course by one or two months. VIII FEE REGULATIONS Fees are charged on all courses, and range from Fifteen to Forty Dollars per month. All fees must be paid in advance in accordance with the following regulations: — (a) If a student commences a course during the first week of the month, he shall pay one month's tuition fee, which will entitle him to instruction up to the end of the month.

Enrolment DatesJanuary, April, July and October EXPERIENCED WELDERS ONLY(Inert Gas Welding $ 10.00 for 4 hours) (Low Hydrogen rod $5.00 for dally attendance) - 16 — ADVANCED TECHNICAL PROGRAMME (ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN PROGRAMME) A number of industrial firms in the Province have employment opportunities for young men who have pre¬ pared themselves for careers in power plant engineering. A modern diesel electric or thermal-electric power plant or a large refrigeration plant can provide a challenging occupation for a young man who is interested in the techni cal and mechanical aspects of the generation of electrical power, electronic controls and the distribution and util¬ ization of power in plant processes. In addition to employment opportunities in operation and maintenance work there are openings for trained young men as technical sales representatives of companies which supply mechanical, electrical or electronic equip¬ ment to the industry. Other opportunities exist in drafting offices of companies designing and building power plant equipment. In respect to the field of stationary engineering in particular, graduates of the Advanced Technical Pro¬ gramme will be eligible to write for 3rd Class Engineering standing after a twelve month period of power plant engineering experience and can then proceed in their studies to 2nd and 1st Class standing while they are employ¬ ed in industry. Successful graduation from the school programme, therefore, enables the student to bypass the lower certificates and eliminates the need to serve qualifying time for them. THE PROGRAMME The Advanced Technical Programme is a two-year terminal programme which leads to employment in some of the occupations described above. It consists of a general first year followed by a second year which provides more specialized studies and intensive practical work. The entrance requirements are high school graduation which must include Math 91, Physics 91 and Chemistry 91. FIRST YEAR (September to June) Mathematics — 101 Electricity Physics — 101 Mechanical Fitting Chemistry — 101 Mechanical Drawing Note The three 101 courses are selected because they are good general preparation for further technical training and they provide transferable credits, if the student elects to take further professional training in the future either as an engineering pupil with the Professional Engineers' Association or as a University student, SECOND YEAR (September to June) Applied Mechanics Thermodynamics ) periods Strength of Materials Basic Electronics ) per Metallurgy Oral and Written Reports ) Elected Shop Prartirp — 15 periods per wpelr. e.g. Power Plant Laboratory Welding Machine Shop Mechanical Drafting This Advanced Technical Programme (Engineering Technician Course) will provide a good outlet for young men who have completed Math 91, Physics 91 and Chemistry 91 and who, for one reason or another, do not intend to embark on a five year university course. It should prove particularly valuable to students who are interested in acquiring practical skills as well as theoretical knowledge and who are more interested in industrial application of their skill and knowledge than in the research and design fields. For students who look forward to one year of senior matriculation as the limit of their formal education some of them might be interested in a programme of this type since it provides an opportunity to acquire the senior matri¬ culation sciences and provides a vocational goal as well. In short, this programme provides an educational and vo¬ cational opportunity that could meet the needs of some of our high school graduates and at the same time provide skilled technical help for some of British Columbia's industry. It is hoped that a pilot group of approximately 16 students can be selected for the programme before Septem¬ ber so that a start can be made by Sept. 8 th. We must start in a small way and expand later, if necessary, if we are to be assured of adequate placement of the graduates. Any interested students should apply to the Vancouver Vo¬ cational Institute, 250 West Pender Street, Vancouver 3, for further information. § i ?
