Rotary Speaker Describes Worker Education Programs
Guest speaker of the Goden h
Rotary Club Nov. 1 was Mr: Cliff
Searcy. Mr. Searcy is co-ordin
at'or of Program 5 in Stratford.
Mr. Searcy said we are living
in a fast-moving world and that
those present would find that
they or their families would
need to have three different vo-
cations in their life. One of the
reasons for this need of another
vocation is the present program
of retirement at age 45, leaving
a person as much as 20 years of
his lifetime available for a fur-
ther type of work.
Mr. Searcy said there are
many reasons for a need to
change. Some vocations find it
necessary to change because
of age. For example, steel
workers sometimes find they do
not like the high work at cer-
tain ages and therefore re-train
themselves for a different occup-
ation.
11
Program -5 .actually started as
a training program for unem-
ployed after the First Woi4ld
War but nothing much happened
until after the Second World
War.
The early form of Programs 5
was not sueeessiiul as it was only
for the unemployed and the
income from unemployment in-
surance plus the training pay en-
couraged those who wanted an
easy income to take the easy,
way out.
These problems have been
overcome now, with a new scale
in which a person may get up
to $90 per week while he is re-
training. This, of course, is de-
pendent upon whether he is
married, whether he has a `fam-
ily,. wfhether he has to change
his location, and other factors.
At the present time, there are,
25 front Goderich attending the
Program 5 Nurse in Stratford.
Mr. Searcy also mentioned
Program 3, another government
training program designed for
the emipldyed who pay for their
re-training program. Progran'1.4
is a government program which'
is run in co-operation. with in-
dustry to re-train people work-
ing hi industry for a certain
needed type of employee in the
industry, e.g., if a loc4l machin-
ery company wished to re-train
a group of employees ' for a
blueprint reading .course, then
the industry would pay half the
cost with the balance between
lost wages and materials and aid
in re-training their own employ-
ees for a better type of • work
for the employee and advantag-
eous type of work for the eel-
ployer. .
Program 4 runs from. 3:30 to
6:30 daily, Monday to Friday,
and there are' those from Gode-
rich attending this type of work
training in. Stratford 'at tI-" pre-
sent time.
'Mr. Searcy described Program
6 as a type of training for the
disabled person. After an acci-
dent where there had been brain
damage with mental retardation
or after an accident where there
had been spinal Injury with
paraplegia and paralysis, --a re-.
training program for the injur?
ed.
Mr. .Searcy said there are
many' successful retrainees,
mentioning otie trainee who,
after an automobile accident in
which he suffered a permanent
paralytic injury to the spine and
was written off by his employer,
wa,s re-trained by the Program
5 training program and now
holds an automobile mechanics'
teachers certificate and is em-
ployed at a good income at a
Vocational School.
In Sweden, 50 per cent of the
population is under education
at all times. He stated that
Sweden forsees changes of the
future and -therefore are pre-
pared.for it with the re-trained
population. ,
Teachers in the Program 5
training course are exiperieneed
workers with from "10 to 15
years' actual experience in their
trade and industry and no form-
ally trained school teachers as
such. He feels that industry
benefits from this since these
people, having worked at the
trade, are best qualified to teach
it to their trainees.
Mr. Searcy was introduced by
Clem Jutras, manager of the
Canada ._Manpower Centre in
Goderich, and on coticlusion oaf
his speech, was thanked on be-
half of the Goderich Rotary Club
by John Morris.
