Part-time learning activity
increases in Huron -Perth
An increasing number of Huron and Perth
County residents are taking advantage of
part-time learning opportunities available
through Conestoga College. This increase
has not just happened this fall, but is part of
a pattern established over the last three
years, according to Bob Simpson, Con-
estoga's Manager of Employer Based
Training for the two counties.
Simpson cites three main reasons for the
increase: the develop ent of new courses to
meet learn' nee ems; the expansion of ac-
tivities gea ed to specific businesses and in-
dustries; nd the increase in so-called
satelllite loc tions — non -campus communi-
ty sites where a college offers courses.
Computer lea g is one area of growth.
The college has ' troduced courses such as
Data Processin -- Concepts, Computer
Literacy for thOffic and the popular Com-
puter LiteracYWoNshops. In addition, both
the Stratford and Clinton campuses now
have fully operational c puter labs
In the area of courses f basin s and
industries, activity has gro er a varie-
ty of government-sponsored programs
designed to upgrade and advance employee
skills.
-e One program — Training in Business and
Industry (TIBI) — saw Huron County activi-
ty double and Perth County activity rise by
41 per cent in the past year. Simpson ex-
pects this growth to continue and com-
ments, "Industries are now more aware of
what we have to offer in this area and clear-
ly see the benefits of these programs to
them and their employees with regard to
better productivity and technological sur-
vival."
Although the Stratford and Clinton cam-
puses remain the focal points for activity by
the College's Continuing Education and
Employer Based Training departments,
satellite locations operate in Goderich,
Wingham, Mitchell, Milverton, St. Marys
and, from time to time, other Huron and
Perth County communities.
This outreach effort has resulted in more
people taking advantage of skills learning
opportunities either for personal growth or
for career adva cement. In Huron County,
for example, la year's part-time enrol-
ment was 75 pe cent greater than the
previous year's, and this fall saw a further
increase of 80 per cent.
For more information about part-time
learning opportunities in Huron and Perth
counties, contact Bob Simpson through the
Clinton campus, 482.3458, or Stratford caYn-
pus, 271-5700, of Conestoga College.
