The presentation provided information regarding program- ming, including partnerships with local employers and com- munity organizations and how they hope to meet training needs in Huron and Bruce communities. "For students who are on place- ments, majority of them are hired before completion of their pro- gram. It increases their ability to remain engaged within their community," said MacKenzie -Card. There are only 150 students enrolled in all of Huron and Bruce Counties, yet Fanshawe has the college education that allows students to remain close to home by attending classes at facilities within their communities. Currently Fanshawe offers full-time programs in Goderich, Clinton and Tiverton such as Business Entrepreneurship, Management, Human Resources, Project Management taught by local experts and teachers. There are also part- time programs offered in Kin- cardine, Clinton and Goderich. "We look for spaces, we lease those spaces and hire the instruc- tors to teach. It is all based on community demand," Mombour- quette explained on why courses are offered in certain communities. Programs range from Early Childhood Education to Entre- preneurship and Management, from Personal Support Worker to Electrical and Welding Techniques. MacKenzie -Card spoke up on one of the positive aspects that she hears in the form of feedback from many of the students: "Many students are saying that its close to home, they don't have to change their lives to study. They see the value in that, and they are able to be connected with local employers and stay where they want to be." Fanshawe also offers general interest and professional courses available in Goderich and Clinton from May until July, and some of which are Payroll Administration, Wine Intro, Summer Whites, BBQ Reds and Adobe Photoshop. For those who are interested in furthering their education in areas that are not normally ser- viced by post -secondary educa- tion, are to contact Heather MacKenzie -Card at hmacken- zie-card@fanshawec.ca or by visiting the website at fan- shawec.ca/huron-bruce.
