Largest class of CCAT
food service to graduate
When the 19th graduation
day at Centralia College of
Agricultural Technology rolls
around on May 11, the largest
class ever of food service
management students will
receive their graduation
certificates.
CCAT vice-principal and
head of the food service
management course Dr. Vi
Currie says graduates of this
course are sought after by the
industry. Most go to fulfill
positions as supervisors in
hotels, large catering firms,
hospitals and nursing homes.
A change in the Ontario
Nursing Home Act has been
responsible for a new special
weekend course for those now
working in nursing homes,
but, not having the proper
Food Supervisor credentials.
Dr. Currie developed and
supervised the course which
was completed by 18 persons
presently employed in nurs-
ing homes. They participated
in the course for nine alter-
- native weekends followed by
°t' three months placements and
a comprehensive exam. They
are now eligible to write
CFSSA exams.

area residents are proving to
be very popular. Current
courses in nutrition, food pro-
cessing and microwave ovens
held periodically on Satur-
days have drawn plenty of in-
terest and created waiting
lists for those interested.
Dr. Currie point out that
the latest feature at Centralia
College is the full use of com-
puters for hands-on training
for students in the food ser-
vices, animal health and
agricultural business
management.
For students in the first
year of the agricultural
business management
course, Jim O'Toole, head of
the agronomy section has in-
stigated a new course which
he hopes will grow in years to
come.
O'Toole said junior students
would be learning more of the
on -hands approach by getting
out into the fields to work with
machinery, do moisture
testing, how to determine
harvest losses in the field and
calibrate equipment to plant
the right population and put
on the proper amounts of
spray.
O'Toole continued, "a large
number of our stridents are
not from this area and
therefore are unfamiliar with
the crops of white beans, soy-
beans and corn and the terms
and equipment that go with
these."
While the percentage of
students in past years going
back to the farm has been as
high as 85 percent, O'Toole
says this is changing.
Graduates from the SBM
course at Centralia are eligi-
ble to work with fertilizer and
feed companies, Co -Ops and
the elevator industry.
O'Toole said two former
CCAT students are now in-
volved in research at the
University of Western On-
tario. Six students are usual-
ly hired by the College to stay
on during the summer months
each year to wr r1: in research
and plot maintenance.
• On the subject of job place-
ment for this year's grads,
O'Toole said, "Thingsre still
a little tight, but, I'm hopeful
things will open up in the
spring. The elevator trade is
offering more service to
farmers where our graduates
fit in and farmers are deman-
ding more service and
guidance in putting their pro-
grams together."
