The Goderich Signal-Star, 1980-04-16, Page 3Can't find • a job? Try SWAP program BY JOANNE BUCHANAN Towards the end of this month, many university students will be returning home to Goderich to look for summer jobs. Some will find jobs here but others • may not be so fortunate. There is only so much work to go around. To those students who can't find jobs here, why not try the SWAP program. SWAP stands for Student Work Abroad Program. It is a practical program enabling students to temporarily work and reside 'in •a country of their choice. SWAP is being offe d in five countries at pres Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, Belgium and the Netherlands. ' SWAP is ideal for those students. who have always dreamed of seeing the world but can't quite afford the ex- perience. "The purpose of SWAP is to offset the rising cost of travel," explains Bruce Homer, Marketing Director of the Association of Student Councils which ad - Ti Bits... • from page 2. community, in a Hut- terite.,,Colony in Alberta, in a Nova Scotia Negro village on the barrens, on an Iroquois reservation, in the homes of an,Italian immigrant and .an iron miner, on a potato farm in New Brunswick, in .

Most work offered through SWAP is related to the service industry. Jobs in hotels, restaurants„ banks, of- fices, factories and farms are the most common. The salaries aren't•bad either. In Great Britain, starting wages range from $120-$140 a weekend meals are often included. Belgium, which offers employment varying from auto mechanics to railway ' work, has ,starting salaries up to $320 a week. A student working on a farm in the Netherlands has his.or her income supplemented by free food and lodging. Jobs in the SWAP program are usually of • short duration. In most cases, they last just a few month's. This is con- sidered sufficient . time for the student -worker to absorb much of the host country's language, culture and lifestyle. It's simple to get in- volved in the SWAP program' but there are a few eligibility requirements. First, participants must possess a Canadian passport and a valid 1980 Interns -bona' Student Identity Card. The latter is available through the Association of Student Council. office. In ad- dition, applicants ' must register at least 35 days in advance of departure and have $500 with which. to support themselves until their' first paycheque. The student must also pay his or her own travel expenses. extens , n hts ortentatlon — most of her.-li-Ai-in-,- a- -- committee .will meet on 24 at 7:30_m, in the cottage ori Sunfish Lake .acComm'od'atti�on in- :Tuesday, April .22 at 4 Recreation Office, near Waterloo.
