Report shows job training needed
Open road

There is a strong need for more
training in the hospitality industry,
according to a report released by
the Ministry of Skills Development.
The report, “Human Resource
and Training Needs in Ontario’s
Hospitality Industry’’, was based
on interviews and industry, labor
and education experts; a mail
survey sent to thousands of Ontario
businesses; and a number of
employee focus groups. It was
sponsored by the Ministries of
Skills Development, Tourism and
Recreation, and Colleges and Uni
versities.
According to the report, training
is needed in such vital areas as
safety, customer service and hu
man resource management.
The major problem identified by
the report is attracting people with
the right kind of skills and retaining
them once they are hired. Better
human resource management is
seen as the key to improving this
situation. The report indicates that
employers who invest in training
find it successful in reducing staff
turnover, in some cases from 250
per cent to below 30 per cent a
year. Another problem facing the
industry is a continuing shortage of
labor - particularly in the case of
chefs and cooks. The shortage is
greatest among part-time workers.
Work continues on the roadway servicing Brussels industrial park. Work is to be completed by July
31. Two sets of buildings are already planned for sites in the new park.

could stall
legislation
Ontario Farm Safety Association
officials are hoping legislation con
trolling the use of Slow Moving
Vehicle (SMV) signs won’t be
sidetracked by an expected fall
provincial election.
Speaking at the Huron County
Farm and Home Safety Association
media day near Clinton Wednes
day, George Underwood, Ontario
president said a committee has
worked long and hard to get
government officials to agree to
legislation that would prevent the
misuse of SMVs for such things as
marking laneways or barriers on
the sides of highways. A committee
with representatives of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture, Chris
tian Farmers Association, the Farm
Safety Association and others had
been meeting with representatives
from the Ministry of Agriculture
and Food (OMAF) and Ministry of
Transport (MTO) to try to get new
regulations. Some of the govern
ment officials just didn’t know what
the farm groups were talking
about, Mr. Underwood said and
there was a great deal of educating
to do. A report was set to go to the
minister but MOT officials halted
the process because they wanted
examples of other jurisidcations
that had similar legislation on the
books. The farm groups wanted the
province to be a leader. They did
find examples of other places such
as British Columbia where similar
regulations were in force.
The association hoped the report
would go to the minister last week,
he said, with talk of the election
supporters of the new regulations
are worried. “We thought we had
it (similar legislation) maybe twice
before and it got caught in an
election’’, Mr. Underwood said. If
an election is called all bills not
passed have to start the whole
legislative process again. Farm
leaders have told OMAF Minister
David Ramsay they don’t want to
see the needs of farmers hurt by
politicians holding elections, he
said.
