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.
