Students .can split school and work hours in FUTURES
• A new FUTURES option which offers
unemployed young people a chance to go
back to school for half a day and work for
the other half. was among three new •in-
itiatives to expand FUTURES announced
this summer.
Gregory Sorbara, Minister of Skills
Development, said the new part-time
work/part-time school option offers a "se-
cond chance to unemployed young people
who want to go back to school."
"A core of employment -disadvantaged
youths exists, despite the economic upswing
and the increasing number of job oppor-
tunities in the
basic' education plays a large role in their
problems. It affects their job stability and
advancement. Nearly 45 percent of the
young people between 15 and 24 in today's
full-time work force do not have a high
school diploma."
"Tackling the problem of both youth
unemployment and a high dropout rate from
secondary school has been a priority for the
Ontario goverment, The Ministry of Skills
Development has worked closely with the
Ministry of Education and the result is the
part-time work/part-time school option; It is
the first time such a program has been.of-
fered in Canada."
Qualified unemployed youths who choose
the part-time work/part-time school option
provin
ce. Lack of formal and will receive $100 a week while attending
school, as well as the minimum wage for
part-time hours worked. Participants must
work 16 . to 20 hours a week, and attend
rlta � v;t

i(t
school to earn at least ,three high school
credits.
The option will be available to youths who,
have less than a Grade 12 education, have
been out of School for at least a year and
have been unemployed for •at least 12 con-
secutive weeks or haveaccumulated a total
of 16 jobless weeks in the past year. Local
school boards will be closely involved in im-
plementing the new FUTURES option.
The new part-time work/part-time school
option. isexpected to attract 7,000 par-
ticipants during the next year. •

keep, a job. To date, more than 70,000 young
people have participated in the program
since it began in November, 1985,

have accumulated a total of 16 weeks
unemployment in a one-year period. •
Previously, the program was limited only
to those who had been unemployed for 12 or
more consecutive weeks. However, it left •
out the group of young people who changed'
jobs two or three times a year, took any
short term job they could get, and were
therefore unemployed only about an
average of nine consecutive weeks between
jobs.
The new rules will allow another 3,000
employment -disadvantaged young people to

initiatives will go into effect province -wide
during August and September, and will have
an anticipated annual cost of $35 million,
