11. The Folytechnic offers a wide range of courses of study at the professional, technologist and technical levels which prepare students for employment in local commerce, industry and the public service. These courses have been designed with a view to meeting the changing and growing needs of the community and primary consideration is given to the employment prospects of the students in curricula planning. Students are required to attend a compulsory period of practical training each summer, when they are attached to firms, companies, sites, factory offices
or workshops or allied organizations where they can gain practical experience in a work situation. This arrangement enables them to be better prepared for employment on completion
