The Canada Employment Centre for Students (CEC-S) is helping many students find work. "It's going really well. We arc up 25 to 30 percent over last year for job placement and orders," says Sheila Dougall, co-ordinator for the Exeter CEC-S office. Dougall explains that the major- ity of job orders arc for ag- riculturally based jobs such as stone picking or haying. "We even had one job order for a goat milk- er," said Dougall. The majority of the students seek- ing employment are in grades sev- en and eight -or high school. Dou- gall says that many have returned from last year. More good news is that em- ployers are paying better wages this year. "Employers arc paying at least minimum wage if not better," says Dougall, "I think that it is part- ly due to both a better economy and more awareness of employment programs offered by the govern- ment." Programs such as SEED (Sum- mer Employment Experience De- velopment), EYC (Environmental Youth Corps.), jobsOntario, Fu- tures, the Summer Wage As- sistance Program, and the Student Venture Loan program have all been created to assist students in finding or creating summer em- ployment. Networking amongst Ontario CEC offices make it possible for students to find out about job op- portunities outside the Huron County borders. A recent job order requiring a yachting instructor in Mississauga and a camp counsellor in Port Colborne was placed at the oftcc. "There have been job orders placed every day since the middle of May. Even on my days off," says Dougall. "That just shows that there arc jobs out there if you're pa- tient." The CEC-S office has been promoting various students for hire through the Student of the Week feature in many regular news- papers. Dougall says that this has proven very successful in finding employ- ment for those students. Students interested in participating in the Student of the Week program should contact the CEC-S office for more details. Human mannequins graced an empty store front window on Friday.
