The Rural Voice, 1983-07, Page 14four week (now six) internship in a
hospital at the program's end.
"You probably learn more in that
training period than in two years of
sitting in the classroom," she says. Also,
the unpaid internships often lead to
fulltime jobs - this year, even with the
poor employment situation, half the
graduating students had food service
lobs to go to.
Also, for at least the next year. Julie
anticipates that nursing homes will be
hiring more food services supervisors.
"There's a new taw coming out that
states nursing homes must have a
qualified food services supervisor either
working in the department or running it
by January 1, 1984," she advises.
Did any of the three CCAT graduates
ever have misgivings about their career
choices after they graduated?
Bruce admits he did have some short-
lived doubts whether or not the dairy
operation could support his father,
brother and himself. But as he'd always
planned to farm, his brother and he had
been building up equity for some years
and "we are just trying to eventually work
our way into the business."
He also realizes how fortunate he was
to have a financially -secure farming
operation to return to. Several class-
mates also wanted to farm, but had to
settle for jobs in agribusiness or else
working for another farmer.
When Julie finished her course, she
was offered both the Brampton job and a
hostess job in a Minden tourist resort.
Since the Minden job was seasonal, and
even further away from Bruce. she took
the hospital job. Working in the hospital,
she discovered that CCAT food services
grads "really do have a good name as far
as food service supervisors go. Practi-
cally everywhere you go, they have one
CCAT grad or have had at least one
working in the hospital."
After her marriage, Julie's "first inkling
was to go back and look for a job at
CCAT." Her hunch paid off - now she
supervises food chemistry and micro-
biology labs for first year students and
therapeutic diet labs for the seniors.
She's found working at her old school
has provided a unique opportunity 10 see
the program from both sides - and given
her a new admiration for instructors like
program head Dr. Vi Curry, who has put
in many extra hours over and above the
call of duty.
Julie also hasn't minded having to do
some quick boning up on her own.
"It's nice to be back in a learning
situation. When you get away from books
