consider establishing their busi-
ness in Alberta rather than Exet-

ably start their full-time service

that persons starting in that pro-
fession must be residents of On-
tario for four years.

dures for the first time, Susan

Early start recommended for students
wanting summer employment
EXETER - One sure sign sum-
mer is on the way is the opening of
the Canada Employment Centre for
students.
And although the employment
picture doesn't look promising for
the season there are still some jobs
available.
'H'e expect the hiring trend to be
the same as last year," said Sheila
Dougall, Exeter's summer employ-
ment officer.
Shelia Dougall is running the Canada Employment Centre for students in Exeter this summer.
Seasonal job opportunities are already on the boards for those looking for work, she says.
Junior Achievement
of Huron County
CLINTON - For the past few
months, a committed group of edu-
cators, business and community
leaders has been working behind
the scenes to bring Junior Achieve-
ment programs to the youth of Hu-
ron County.
Established in 1919, Junior
Achievement is an international
non-profit organization that is ded-
icated to providing practical and
hands-on business education pro-
grams for youth.
Junior Achievement work: with
teachers to bring business people
into the classroom and share their
practical business and economic
experience. It plants a seed in stu-
dents' minds, which can grow into
a lifetime of success fur many of
them, and a better -prepared work-
force.
Junior Achievement of Huron
County is being initiated by the
Huron Community Futures Corpo-
ration, with the support of Junior
Achievement of London and Dis-
trict. Youth programs promoting
the concepts of business manage-
ment, free enterprise and econom-
ics are a critical component of the
corporation's five-year mandate to
revitalize the Huron County econ-
omy through entrepreneurship and
business development.
A steering committee represent-
ing community development
groups, the Huron Board of Educa-
tion and the local business commu-
nity has been formed to oversee the
local delivery of these programs.
Community Futures is contribut-
ing $5,000 to launch programs
throughout Huron County, contin-
gent upon matching dollars from
community groups and the private
sector. Over the next few weeks,
businesses, industries and service
clubs will be approached for their .
support in getting Junior Achieve-
ment up and running. The target
date to begin programs in local
schools in September 1994.
The Junior Achievement Pro-
gram is a wonderful opportunity to
forge stronger partnerships be-
tween our educational institutions
and the local business community
But more importantly, it helps en-
sure a prosperous local economy
by exposing our youth to a career
option they may not have consid-
ered.
For more information on Junior
Achievement of Huron County,
contact Paul Nichol,. Community
Futures Co-ordinator at the Huron
Business Centre, 527-0305 or 1-
800-268-2590.
She is one of three summer em-
ployment officers in Huron County.
Dougall said the flow of students
into the office has been steady
since it officially opened last
Wednesday.
She recommends students come
into the office as soon as they can
to fill out registration cards and
check the job boards.
"It's a good idea to come in earli-
er. You will have a better chance
then of finding something perma-
nent," she said.
The real rush for summer em-
ployment usually begins at the end
of May just before school lets out.
Dougall also encourages employ-
ees to register with the centre and
hire a student. "That's the best way
to contribute to the future of the
community."
Although Dougall is optimistic
many employers will be looking for
help in the coming weeks, she said
many of the jobs will be part time
or temporary.
"Most jobs in this area are sea-
sonal, such as farm help - especial-
ly with stone picking," Dougall
said. She said there are also a lot of
odd jobs such as babysitting and
yard work.

adults.
According to Statistics Canada,
young people currently have the
highest unemployment rate of any
age group in the country.
That's why employment booths
and job readiness training work-
shops are being promoted in high
schools.
"Students can get information on
how to search for a job and where
upcoming workshops will being
held."
Workshops on job readiness are
also being taught to Grade 7 and 8
students.
"Students are also welcome to
drop by the employment centre to
ask questions about anything from
job searches to putting together a
resume," Dougall said.
"I hope to be able to help a lot of
students this summer."
