Unemployed get experience A program to give about 100 young people jobs on Ontario's farms will see the Ministry of Agriculture and Food underwriting half of the cost of their wages under the Youth Secretariat's Winter Experience '83, minister Dennis Timbrell announced recently. The plan is aimed at young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are ac- tively seeking work and have been unemployed for at least 12 weeks. "This hard-pressed segment of our labor force will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience that could lead to future employment and promote understanding of life on today's farms," Timbrell said. Young people taking part in the program will be employed for periods of 12 to 19 weeks beginning November 1, 1983 and en- ding March 16, 1984. They will be paid $3.50 per hour based on a 40 -hour week with the government and the farmers hiring them splittingthe cost. "With the experience they gain, these young workers will have a better chance to find jobs in agriculture; last year, 65 per cent of those in the program stayed on the farm or found other employment," Timbrell said. The program runs during the winter mon- ths to ease unemployment and give the farmer more time to teach and demonstrate general farming practices. The program also offers the chance for farmers to tackle jobs they might not other- wise be able to do by themselves.
