Middlesex schools move to cooperative education program A recent Education Ministry report indicates that 64 percent of high school students enter the job market rather than pursue postsecondary studies at college or university. In Middlesex County this means that, this year. more than 600 young peo- ple will be looking for or starting their first full-time job when employment prospects are not the greatest. Through a stepped-up Cooperative Education Program, high schools are offering help to these students. Under the program, students are placed with commercial businesses or service industries to work at an oc- cupation that interests them and to work for an employer who is in- terested in having them. Hence the term "Cooperative Education". For a complete school term, September to December or January to June, the student attends regular classes for half of each day and works at on-the- job training for the other half as a regular part-time employee. Combined with related school courses such as accounting or welding, the work enables the student to earn extra credits toward a secon- Ready for a New. Hair Style?

In Middlesex, the cooperate educa- tion program at Strathroy District Collegiate is being used as a model for similar programs at Glencoe, Parkhill, Medway and Dorchester high schools. The Strathroy program was started in 1982 under Coordinator Larry Traxler who was appointed this year to organize extension of the pro- gram to the other schools in the county. Larry says, "Experience has pro- ven that schools are eager to offer the program and there are extremely worthwhile benefits for students and employers who take part in it. Like other valuable programs, it starts small, develops gradually, and even- tually becomes a well -integrated part of the complete school program, help- ing to meet needs of students and the community. I believe the program will eventually involve 400 students across the county." During the present school year, People power to be outlined Organizations run on the energy and involvement of volunteers. Peo- ple Power is a workshop on working with volunteers.

Anne Sheppard, who runs the program at Glencoe District High School, and Carol Hunter, who looks after the program at Medway High School, expect to place as many students as they can in February, although numbers will be smaller because the program has been in- troduced more recently in these schools. Feedback from employer and stu- dent participants 'has been very positive. Larry Traxler says that, "after they've completed their place- ment, 50 to 60 percent of the students say they would like to stay in their related fields. Others say the ex- perience has been valuable, and a few find out that they weren't so in- terested in that kind of work after all. And that's all right, too, because it's good to find out early in life what you don't want to do. "Employers like cooperative education because it helps them to get a better idea about what is being taught in the schools," Larry says. "In this way, the program helps to bring the school and the business community closer together." Alio, the program helps teachers do a better job. Teachers who go out to training palcements to monitor students' progress meet employers and other employees. Through these contacts, teachers can become more aware of the needs of the business and industrial community and of the peo- ple who are training students on the job. As a result, teachers can keep up with the latest trends and technologies. Another benefit for students, that is Town Topics Mr. and Mrs. Bert Faber, Kippen and Violet Rader were Sunday dinner guests with Clarence and Laureen Deibal of Exeter. apparent to teachers and parents, is the increase in development of in- terpersonal relationships and maturi- ty that comes from meeting and working with people. These qualities are especially valuable for young peo- ple to have. By extending the cooperative education program to all secondary schools and into more communities, the Middlesex County Board of Education wants to give more students and more employers oppor- tunities that will benefit them and their communities through better training. • 20% OFF everything in stock at regular price • "RED TAG" Prices on many over stocked items 405 MAIN STREET, EXETER (519) 235-2957 MON — THURS. 9:00 - 6:30 FRI 9:00 - 9:00 SAT 9:00 - 5:00 • - (1/4' .��iIoNAA?IoNA ,�`��ar , vG�?V$t a1/4 a1/4 Now g ett in any moneyma Now more than ever, your TOTAL CardTM is all you need when you need instant cash from your National Trust account.
