In conclusion, the students surveyed found the occupational experience component of their middle-management program effective in meeting their career objectives as evidenced by the; (1) 61.1% who responded with a high rating on the degree to which they felt their on-the-job training experience provided opportunities for development of their career objectives, (2) 76.3% who responded with a high rating on the degree to which they felt they were acquiring important job skills from their jobs that they could apply later on in their careers, and (3) 84.0% who would recommend it to others preparing for careers in marketing and distribution.
