CLINTON - Officials for the Hu-
ron County Board of Education and
the Conestoga College of Applied
Arts and Technology have opened
discussions to strengthen connec-
tions between the college and the
board, and, together provide easier
access to post -secondary education
opportunities for residents of Huron
County. At a meeting held last
Tuesday at Central Huron Secon-
dary School, representatives of
each group, along with representa-
tives from Human Resources De-
velopment Canada and the Huron
Business Centre, agreed to study
the following items:
1. Enact any cost efficient ap-
proach to re-establish and expand a
presence for Conestoga College in
Huron County, most likely using
the technology infrastructure of the
Huron County Board of Education;
2. Develop new post secondary
programming opportunities for Hu-
ron County residents - adult and ad-
olescent populations;
3. Undertake, with Human Re-
sources Development Canada and
the Huron Business Centre, a needs
assessment to survey current post-
secondary needs;
4. Examine, with secondary
school principals, school team lead-
ers and board administrators, the
possibility for secondary school
`path' programs, joint credit deliv-
ery, and preferred entry programs
for access to community college
programs by Huron County Board
of Education secondary school
graduates;
5. Explore strategies to extend ac-
cess to and combine usage, by the
College, of the HCBE technology
infrastructure for access to and
through the Internet and computer-
based teaming facilities including
video -conferencing based in one or
more secondary schools;
6. Examine program options to
support longer term staffing train-
ing and recruitment needs for the
Huron County Board of Education
in Early Childhood Education and
Library Clerical/Technical Assist-
ant roles;
7. Explore joint approaches to the
MET Technology Incentive Part-
nership Program 2 grant application
process to initiate such partnering;
and
8. Consider joint lobbying to the
Minister to support mutual needs
with respect to staffing and pro-
gram delivery.
Progress reports will be issued
jointly in a timely fashion.
Attending the Tuesday meeting
were: John Tibbits, John McKen-
zie, Grant McGregor and Fred Har-
ris for Conestoga College, Paul
