(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Susan Freeman is now back for her second term as the supervisor- of the Canada Employment Centre for Students located in the post office building, 35 East Street, Goderich. Susan, a native of Goderich and a graduate of the University of Western Ontario, says it will be difficult for students to find jobs again this summer but she rem ains —optimistic: - Last year's. student placement program through the Employment Centre was very suc- -eess-fful -under-:- Susan's direction with a sub- stantial increase • in placements over the preceeding year. Susan has been 'working at the Employment Centre this year since January 28. Her job runs until Sep- tember. At present, she is busy sending out letters to all potential employers of -students to be followed up by personal visits. She can point out to employers that students are available on short notice; do all types of work; can replace vacationing staff; are able, to help meet tem- porary summer peaks in production; are energetic, capable and enthusiastic; are willing to work for a day, a week, a .month or more; and are potential permanent staff. Employers,. selecting' staff through u the' Employment Centre save themselves a jot of time and effort. The Centre can • usually fill job vacancies in 98 hours or less with students who are . pre-screened- and selected _to_ meet ..-eaC individual employer's needs. Students also benefit by registering at the Em.ploy meat - .Centre Infor-mation and guidance provided to them on how to find summer jobs will be relevant when they seek some type of permanent employment. To a student, a summer job means exposure to the world of work which may aid in decisions regarding a career or type of further education. It means practical work experience to round out academic training. And it means money to finance education to acquire the training necessary to find work after leaving school. Susan is urging both students and employers' to come to the Employment Centre office now to learn about. government programs such as the Student Youth GODERICH Si NAI. -STAR, THURSDAY, ; MAR' Employment Program 198.0 and „Ontario Experience 1980. Students should register at the Centre early. It'll . be • tough to find a summer job but it CAN BE DONE. - c °ee_®f140 over -1978 1 Canvassers .raise.,,i,9i5 The 1979 C.N.I.B.
