The women are part of the new Huron Perth Women's Speakers Bureau, as part of the Words on Work - W.O.W. program/ Created by the Foundation for Enriching Education, in partnership with the Ontario Women's Directorate, the Learning Partnership and Partners for Change as developed the Women's Speakers Bureau (WOW) to serve schools in Huron and Perth counties. The program includes a data bank of speakers' profiles which elementary and secondary teachers can access to arrange a time for a speaker to visit a class. Judy Weber of Egmondville has worked to put together the speakers' bureau and noted that the response has been wonderful. The speakers come from a wide range of careers and include traditional and non- traditional occupations. As well the speakers come, from throughout Huron and Perth counties. The goals of the Huron Perth Women's Speakers Bureau is to increase student awareness of the variety of positions that women hold in the workplace. "Statistics say that people will change their jobs every seven years, yet young people are anxious to make the right decision," Mrs. Weber noted. The program also aims to encourage students to consider 'a wide range of careers available to them in their communities. Mrs. Weber said that some graduating students may be uncertain about post- secondary education choices and are concerned about the cost, noting, "they may decided not to go to school if they can't decide on a career, but the reality is that going to college or university helps to open career doors." The program also aims to provide role models of women who enjoy their careers and can speak about education and training, the changing workplace, job search skills and answer students questions. The Women's Speakers Bureau WOW was launched in the fall with a reception at the Seaforth Legion. For more information about the Foundation for Enriching Education call 527-0111.
