Eau Claire - Two Colby high School students were among students from 11 counties attending a recent program offering advanced training in business and agriculture, The program emphasized computer usage and applications.

Dennis Johnson and Darryl Schuh completed 16 hours of training during the recent semester after school and on week-ends. They then completed 30 hours of work this summer to complete the program.

The program is part of a statewide project reallocating funds usually earmarked for vocational education at the post-secondary level to provide additional training for students in high school vocational programs.

Schools prepare proposals to receive funds from the special fund. District One had the largest such proposal accepted, incorporating 37 high school. Statewide, $1 million was made available for the project.
