Central Huron plans co-operative education program
Under the direction of Mr. Joe
Wooden, principal of Central
Huron Secondary SChool
(C. H. S. S.) a committee of teachers
at CHSS is presently planning a
co-operative education program.
Members of the committee are:
M. Doherty, B. Craig, B. Weber, S.
Schwark, J. DeGroot, G. Cull, J.
Carr, B. Munro, L. McKenzie, P.
Senn and J. Wooden.
The committee is extremely
enthusiastic about the education
oppprtunities that co-operative
education will make available to
students at CHSS. Recently, teach-
ers visited co-op programs in
Woodstock, Newcastle, and Wiar-
ton. In all of these towns the co-op
program has experienced enthus-
iastic community support. These
visits, Ministry of Education
guidelines, and other school board
officialshave helped the commit-
tee plan a program for CHSS.
Co-operative Education com-
bines periods of in -school instruc-
tion with on-the-job experience.
Students are able to earn secon-
dary school credits while taking
advantage of resources available in
the community. Co-operative edu-
cation can help develop skills in
social -service, business, clerical,
trades, service industries and
other job areas.
Aims of the co-op program are to
provide students with opportuni-
ties to:
(a) receive realistic work experi-
ence and on the job training
(b) assist in clarifying career goals
(c) experience training which may
contribute to obtaining a perma-
nent job
(d) develop acceptable work habits
and personal behaviour required
for successful employment
(e) increase self-confidence and
self-reliance
(f) earn school credits while on a
job.
Grade 12 students at CHSS in
academic, commercial, and tech-
nical areas will be eligible for the
co-op program in,September. They
will not be paid by their employers.
Insurance is provided under the
Worker's Compensation Act and
the Huron County Board of
Education. Teachers will make
regular visits to the work place and
will assist with program develop-
ment. The students will be evalu-
ated by the teacher and the
employer.
At present, 80 students at CHSS
have shown interest in the co-op
program. Organizers are now
actively trying to match these
students with employers who
would be willing to have them work
at their place of business. Typical
areas of placement might be:
day-care centres, offices, small
and large factories, on the farm, in
school offices, restaurants, muse-
ums - in short any place where
people work.
For co-op education to work
effectively, it is extremely impor-
tant to have the community willing
to offer places for students to gain
experience. The school has for
years involved students in short
periods of work experience; co-op-
erative education is a greatly
expanded version of work experi-
ence.
George Cull, a member of the
planning group says, "If you would
like to take part in this program as
an employer, or if you would like
further information please contact
the school. Also, there are teachers
available who would be willing to
speak to service clubs or business
organizations about the pro-
gram."
Mr. Wooden comments, "Co-op
education has been in operation in
Ontario high schools for 10 years or
more. Huron County is new to the
concept except for South Huron's
entry into the field this year. We

feel that the benefits provided to
the student, the school, and the
community are so positive that we
are embarking in a fairly large way
for next fall. We are sure from our
very limited contact with employ-
ers so far thatthe local business
community will respond as enthus-
iastically here as business people
have done all over Ontario."
