She loves leather
Maria Verburg just loves leather and really enjoys working at
Bainton’s Old Mill as a co-op student from Central Huron
Secondary School. Here, Maria is helping a visitor from
England who said she loved leather too. Maria will be helping
more customers this summer when she starts working for
Bainton’s full-time.
Students benefit from Co-op
BY LISA BOONSTOPPEL
With more and more jobs de
manding experience as a requisite
for employment, the co-op program
at Central Huron Secondary School
has become an invaluable asset to
over 75 students involved in the
three-year-old program.
“The program helps the stu
dents get jobs and be better
prepared for college,” said Linda
MacKenzie, the Co-operative Edu
cation Co-ordinator for Huron
County. “It’s much easier for the
student to move into a job once
they’ve worked in school.”
The co-op program is a work

school. For example, an auto
mechanic student may work in a
garage. The student spends three
hours at the job every other day
and must accumulate 220 hours at
the job to obtain the two credits the
course wards.
“They’re espected to be on time,
on task and co-operative,’’ said
John Gnay, a co-op monitor. Just
like an errant employee gets fired,
students who don’t comply with the
rules get pulled from the program,
he said.

The success of the program and
of its students may be attributed to
several changes in the program
that have been made since its
beginning at CHSS. Then the

co-op is offered as well.
More teachers are on the co-op
staff than before. There are divi
sion heads as well as co-op moni
tors. “We’re trying to make self-
contained classes where the teach
er the students have in class is also
their co-op teacher,” said Miss
McKenzie. “This will help stud
ents and teachers make a better
connection between the class sub
ject and the work placement.”
But the real success of the
program is what it offers to
students. “It gives students a
chance to participate in the real
world before they have to face the
jungle out there,” said Miss Mc
