The Godericb branch opened its doors February 1 for the 1988 season. The Canada Employment Centre for Students has two offices in Huron County - in Goderich (Monday to Friday, 8:15 am. to 4:30 p.m.) and Exeter. The Exeter loca- tion will be officially opened for the year May 1 although supervisor Marg Dupee will be in the office Tuesdays from March ,until the o The centre helps students throughout Huron County (from Lucknow to Grand Bend, Blyth to Seaforth and points in bet- ween) find summer employment. "In recent years, we've had overwhelm- ing success in placing students and we ex- pect this trend to continue," Dupee said. At the moment, the Goderich office is staffed by Dupee and Darcy McGee, a stu- dent placement officer. The staff will in- crease by three student placement officers in order to cover the Exeter office as well as temporary offices in Clinton and Seaforth. Currently, Dupee and McGee are work- ing on promoting government programs to pThe rospective �ent offers a pro- gram called Challenge '88 where the focus is on providing career or work-related summer employment opportunities for students. Another program, Summer Employment Experience Development. (more commonly referred to as SEED) of- fers wage subsidies to employers who create summer jobs for students. (For employers to benefit from the SEED pro- gram, applications for wage subsidies must be made by March 4, 1988. For more information, contact Marg Dupee at the Canada Employment Centre for Students.) Experience '88 is a provincial program with four to five different aspects. For example, it places students in employment positions with the Ontario government ministries; the Student Venture Capital Program provides loans to students who can create their own summer employ- ment; and, the Ontario Summer Employ- ment Program (OSEP) which also pro- vides wage subsidies to employers who hire students. iA Throughout February and March, both Dupee and McGee also will be contacting prospective employers to see if they will be looking for summer help. 'We will be encouraging them to make jobs available for students," Dupee said. Dupee will be visiting schools throughout Huron County to make students aware of the centre and the help . that it offers to them Students from the age of 12 and up are encouraged to apply through the centre for TUCKERSMITH TOWNSHIP held its Celebration '88 awards ceremony at the Vanastra Recreation Centre on Friday.

The centre assists students who are in school and planning on returning to school in the fall. Students range from elementary schools to those who are attending post -secondary institutions. "We are encouraging students to register early," Dupee said, adding, "Job opportunities are already coming into the office." By registering early, the student has a much better chance at finding a job. Not only that, but there may be a job for the student to go to as soon as school is finished. The Canada Employment Centre for Students also provides assistance to students in filling out Social Insurance Number applications, job forms,,prepar- ing resumes, as well as aiding with job search and interviewing skills Dupee said a wide range of summer employment opportunites exists for students throughout the county. Some of the programs offered include work as assistants in lawyers offices, theatres, groundskeepers and camp counsellors. Because Huron County is largely a rural area, Dupee noted there are a lot of jobs which become available in the agricultural sector. "Any student that is keen to work, there is something out there to do," she said. The centre will provide the students with contacts for job opportunities. Dupee said the centre often screens prospective employees before they send them to an employer for an interview. As well, Dupee noted the employer can use the centre's facilities to interview students for a job. The employment centre also provides an Outreach Program for students in Clinton and Seaforth. Beginning in May, a student placement officer will be in both towns one day per week to take students registra- tions and visit employers. "We' -e trying to go to the students. We're t ,ging to get out .to the students because we do often have a number of employers," Dupee said. So, don't wait until the last minute to find a summer job.
