(c) Persons are eligible for enrollment in a part-time cooperative class provided they are at least 16 years of age and employed during the school year for as much time as they attend school. State plans are to provide that such persons be employed for an average of not less than 15 hours per week during the school year the major portion of such employment to be during the normal day school hours. This would preclude a student attending school full time and meeting the requirement for employment outside the normal day schools hours. The total hours per week in school and at work and the monetary wage paid the student-learners must conform to State and Federal laws governing employment.

(d) Cooperative classes are to conform to one of the following plans:

(1) Plan A. A program covering two school years providing an average of at least one regular class period a day of vocational instruction in classes limited to the cooperative group.

(2) Plan B. A program covering one school year providing an average of at least two regular class periods a day of vocational instruction in classes limited to the cooperative group.

(3) Plan C. A program covering one school year providing an average of at least one regular class period a day of Vocational instruction in distribution taught by a qualified teacher coordinator. Instruction in these classes shall be conducted on a cooperative basis enrolling: (1) Those who have completed one year preparatory instruction in distributive subjects taught by a qualified teacher coordinator, (ii) those who have completed at least two years of instruction in a vocational program approved under the State plan, or (ii) those who have completed at least two years of occupationally oriented subjects which have a direct application to a distributive occupation, provided the State plan sets forth the qualifications of the teacher and the nature and sequence of the subjects. Distributive funds may be used only for the year in which the vocational instruction in distribution is on a cooperative basis.

[23 F.R. 1031, Feb. 18, 1958, as amended at 28 F.R. 6271, June 19, 1963]

tive occupation as defined in §§ 102.46 and 102.56. Instruction in such classes must be supplemental to the daily employment of those enrolled.

§ 102.62 Classes conducted in business establishments.

Funds may be expended for part-time or evening classes conducted in a business establishment for distributive employees of that establishment provided the course meets the requirements of the acts, including public supervision or control as defined in § 102.6, and provided the class is open to or the training service is available to workers in other business establishments in the community. Induction training and instruction in systems, policies, and practices peculiar to one establishment may not be paid for under the plan.

§ 102.63 Coordinating activities.

Funds may be expended for the time spent in coordinating activities by a part-time or evening teacher of distributive occupations subjects. Coordination of the instruction with job experience is necessary for efficient instruction in both part-time or evening classes. Coordination involves visiting students on the job, conferring with supervisors or employers to determine student training needs, making analyses of the duties of workers to be trained, preparing course outlines and selecting instructional materials. Coordinating activities may precede the actual organization of a class. If the coordination is to be done by someone other than the teacher, the State is to set forth in its State plan how the coordination is to be done. Expenditures for this purpose are to be supported by evidence that coordination activities have been performed.

Among groups served are the following: Journeymen, technicians, and other industrial workers; apprentices and other learners; out-of-school youth and in-school youth. Instruction may also be provided for industrial supervisors and supervisory personnel representing both management and labor who may need training to assist in special phases of their work including: the training of workers; job organization and improvement; the development of skills, knowledge, and judgment; provisions for safety and safe working practices; and the study of Federal and State legislation affecting workers.

(b) In addition to the general conditions for the expenditure of funds §§ 102.71 to 102.82 apply to trade and industrial education.

Instruction for trade and industrial pursuits for which funds may be used may include instruction in any subject which is planned to develop basic manipulative skills, safety practices, trade morale, and trade judgment and give technical knowledge or related industrial information essential to employment in a trade and industrial occupation.

§ 102.73

Plan requirement for trade and industrial education.

The State plan is required to describe how the requirements set forth in section 11 of the Smith-Hughes Act for trade and industrial education are to be met. § 102.74 Types of classes in trade and industrial education.

(a) Funds may be expended in trade and industrial education for day classes for those who are preparing for employment, and for part-time and evening classes for those who are employed in a trade or industrial pursuit, as provided in this part.

(b) An evening class is defined as a class conducted during the non-working hours of the enrollees. A part-time class is defined as a class conducted during the usual working hours of the enrollees.

(c) The following terminology is used in classfying the various types of parttime and day classes that have developed in trade and industrial education:

(1) Part-time extension classes. Parttime classes for workers who have left the full-time day school and are enrolled for instruction which is supplemental to their employment.

(2) Part-time cooperative classes. Part-time classes conducted for students who are still enrolled in day school and who, through a cooperative arrangement between the school and the employer, receive part-time instruction in the day school and receive on-the-job training through part-time employment in a

trade or industry. (See $ 102.79 for the special provisions affecting this type of class.)

(3) Part-time general continuation classes. Part-time classes for workers who have left the full-time day school and are enrolled for instruction which is designed to increase their civic intelligence rather than to develop specific occupational competence.

(4) Day trade classes, Type A. Classes for students who have not entered upon employment and are regularly enrolled in a full-time day school, where the related instruction is given as separate units outside the practical work in the shop or laboratory. (See § 102.80.) (5) Day trade classes, Type B. Same as Type A except that the related instruction is given by the shop or laboratory instructor as an integral part of the shop or laboratory work, rather than as separate units. (See § 102.80.)

(6) Day trade classes, Type C. Preemployment classes organized for persons over eighteen years of age or who are over fourteen and have left the full-time school. (See § 102.81.)

§ 102.75 Classes for apprentices.

(a) Funds may be used for training programs for apprentices. Special evening and part-time extension classes may be conducted for apprentices only, to provide technical and other related instruction which is supplemental to their training on the job. Apprentices may also enroll in evening and parttime extension classes established for other workers.

(b) The term "apprentice" as used for the purpose of reporting means a worker who is learning a recognized apprenticeable trade in accordance with an expressed, implied, or written apprentice training agreement that specifies a given length of planned work experience training through employment on the job, supplemented by appropriate related instruction.

(c) Apprentices are classified as follows:

(1) Registered. (1) Where the program or the apprentice or both are registered under the apprenticeship law of the State in which the apprentice is employed.

(ii) Where the program or the apprentice, or both, are registered by a State apprenticeship agency operating under

powers vested in it by legally responsible State authority.

(iii) Where the program or the apprentice, or both, are registered by the Bureau of Apprenticeship, U.S. Department of Labor, under "standards" or "fundamentals" approved by the Federal Committee on Apprenticeship. Such registration or recognition exists only where neither conditions in subdivision (i) nor subdivision (ii) of this subparagraph exist.

(2) Non-registered. Where the program or the apprentice, or both, is not registered under any of the three conditions in subparagraph (1) (i), (ii), and (iii) of this paragraph and the training of the apprentice is conducted under an implied or written agreement between the apprentice and an individual employer, a group of employers, a joint group of employers and employees, or a governmental agency.

§ 102.76 Evening classes.

(a) Evening classes may enroll only workers 16 years of age and over who are employed in a trade and industrial occupation. (See § 102.46.) Instruction must be confined to that which is supplemental to the daily employment of those enrolled. To be considered supplemental to the daily employment, the instruction must be such as to increase the skill or knowledge of the worker in the trade or industrial occupation in which the person is employed.

(b) Evening classes that meet the foregoing requirements may be reimbursed from that portion of GeorgeBarden trade and industrial funds "which shall, if expended, be applied to part-time schools or classes" regardless of whether 144 hours of instruction per year is provided.

§ 102.77 Part-time classes-time requirements under the Smith-Hughes Act.

The Smith-Hughes Act requires that part-time schools or classes shall provide for not less than one hundred and forty-four hours of classroom instruction per year. This refers to the yearly educational opportunity which a community offers to an individual worker rather than the period of attendance required of any one person, or the period of employment of teachers. The requirement is satisfied when either of the following conditions is met during a period

(a) The class must be organized through voluntary cooperative agreements (preferably in writing) between the school and employers, which provide for legal employment of the students, an organized program of training on the job, and supplemental vocational instruction in school.

(b) The class must be composed entirely of persons meeting the minimum age requirement who are enrolled in a day school and legally employed in a trade or industrial pursuit. Those enrolled must have trade and industrial objectives in line with their employment on the job. Such persons enrolled in part-time cooperative classes are called "student-learners". The class may be composed of student-learners all employed in the same, or in different trade or industrial occupations. However, an individual student-learner may be employed and receive training in only one such occupation.

(c) For a student to be considered legally employed for the purpose of this section, his employment must be in conformity with Federal, State, and local employment laws and regulations.

When employment is in establishments engaged in interstate commerce or in the production of goods for interstate commerce, such employment must be at least at the legal minimum wage, except where authorization is granted by the appropriate Regional Office of the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions by certificate for employment at a special minimum wage. In some occupations declared to be hazardous by the U.S. Department of Labor, student-learners must be 18 years of age unless exemption is secured by appeal to the Secretary, U.S. Department of Labor. Studentlearners in any case must receive a monetary wage at a rate commensurate with wages paid other employees doing similar work.

(d) Provision must be made for adequate coordination and supervision of the program, and sufficient time must be provided for a coordinator to visit employers and student-learners on the job.

(e) State plans are to provide that the student-learners be employed for an average of not less than 15 hours per week during the school year, the major portion of such employment to be during the normal day school hours. This pre

cludes a student attending school fulltime and meeting the requirement for employment outside the normal day school hours.

(f) In a program covering two school years, an average of at least one regular class period a day must be devoted to related vocational instruction in classes limited to the cooperative group. In a program covering only one school year, an average of at least two regular class periods a day must be devoted to related vocational subjects in classes limited to the group. Sectional cooperative classes meeting these requirements are permitted as provided in § 102.47.

§ 102.80 Day trade classes-Types A and B.

The following provisions apply to the use of funds under the plan for day trade courses, Types A and B (as defined in § 102.74):

(a) The instruction is to extend over not less than nine months per year and not less than thirty hours per week except that for towns of less than 25,000 population the State board, with the approval of the Commissioner, may modify the conditions as to length of
