Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-04-05, Page 32PAGE 10A—GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL. 5, 1979 Susan Freeman, student placement counsellor and manager at the Canada Employment Centre for Students, told senior students at G.D.C.I. on Monday to be self-confident and persistant when looking for jobs this summer. She told the students to really sell themselves to the employers. Miss Freeman has been busy visiting the high schools in the county this month giving tips on how to get summer jobs. By the way, the reason several students have hats on in this picture is because Monday was "Hat and Tie Day" at G.D.C.I., a promotion for school spirit.

Mrs. Howarth gave the teachers some concrete suggestions on making the teaching of poetry an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for children. She suggested that teachers institute a "listening -to -poetry" program for a couple of months which would expose the pupilstoall kinds of poems.

Get a summer job Interest free loans help Ontario's Student Venture Capital program will provide $125,000 in interest-free loans during 1979 to encourage en- terprising students to set up their own summer business. Since 1974, Student Venture Capital hays given full-time students (18 years and older) the opportunity to finance their education while acquiring business ex- perience first hand. Last year, a total of 97 projects were approved and $82,525 was loaned in amounts ranging from $200 to $1,000 -- the maximum amount available to each ven- ture. Sponsored by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, in co- operation with various Chambers of Commerce in Ontario and the Royal Bank of Canada, Student Venture Capital is part of the Ontario Youth Secretariat's $19 million Experience '79 program to provide students with employment experience. While most .student ventures are profitable, successful projects tend to be labour intensive and are characterized by low capital outlay, a great deal of hard work and familiarity with the field 'of endeavour. In 1978, a University of Toronto student capitalized upon his knowledge and . skills by operating a water ski and kite school in the Muskoka resort area: He netted over $5,000 providing instruction in all levels of water and kite skiing. Another university student' became a sub- contractor to a com- mercial painting firm and employed 13 students throughout the summer. His total net profit was estimated at. $5,000; wages paid ttr:employees• exceeded $10,000. Participating Cham- bers of Commerce share their business expertise and familiarity of the local business climate with the students. Local -c-ira111ber members screen applications, suggest improvements and recommend approval of those projects having the fundamental 'ingredients for success.
