Re-entry program may get fun Women who are currently on assistance and want to upgrade their education, homemakers who want to join the workforce, women who have been in the workforce and want to upgrade their work- ing skills, may find a vehicle to their goals in a re-entry program at Seaforth District High School. SDHS prinicipal Jim Empringham has applied for funding from the Ministry of Employment and Immigration to get this project off the ground. Last year at about this time The Expositor published a story on the re-entry program and it was slated to start in September, but funding was not available and the program was put off for a year. When Mr. Empringham arrived in Seaforth he heard from a lot of people who had been unemployed when Genesco closed its doors, and who wanted academic upgrading. To further support the need of a re-entry program, a study of Huron County unemployment was done by a group based in Seaforth last summer. The study iden- tified women in the 25-44 age bracket as be- ing most at risk of being unemployed or underemployed. Retraining was identified as a need by 66 per cent of these women. There is a program somewhat similar to the one proposed for Seaforth currently operating in Clinton, bu the Clinton program is for general academic upgradin and is not specific to office procedures etc. as the pro- posed Seaforth course is. "It won't compete with Clinton. Both are going to be excellent programs, and both serve different needs," says Mr. Empringham. Basically the re-entry program would pro- vide women with office/clericAl skills which are needed in today's business world. Students will work for the first semester of the course in a state of the art business lab at the school, and will be prepared to re- enter the business world. Required academic subjects and office skills will be taught, and students will be given some sup- port and guidance about what to expect when they go back to work. In the second semester students will go to work at a business for actual practical experience. The businesses would not pay the students, because Employment and Immigration would be subsidising them. The first step in getting funding approved is for the school to conduct a survey to verify that clients and employers are there. The school is looking for women who have been out of school for at least three years and have reached a point in their life where they want to develop their skills and enter the workforce. Women may have been previously employed, or may come from a homemaking background. Interviews will be conducted to select students for the program. The school will also be making a visitation survey of potential employers .in the Seaforth area. Mr. Empringham is pushing for a September 1989 start for the program, and says he is getting positive feedback from the Ministry of Employment and Immigration. Mr. Empringham says the program would be a benefit to the school and the community. "We'd end up with the most advanced business focus in the area in our building. The greatest number (of students) will walk out with their Grade 12 diploma, with office skills in immediate need in this county, and with the self-concept to tackle many types of jobs," he says. "The adolescent students will recognise that education is a lifetime thing." Mr. Empringham says the program will also help the public to see that the school is also there to serve the community in general, and not strictly its students. The Huron County Board of Education will pay only a maximum of $32,000 toward ding this year this program, and has put voted to support it. The cost of the program, if accepted, is estimated at somewhere between $120,000 and $140,000. Mr. Empringham hopes the project will b ongoing, and the organizers can re -apply for funding each year. Looking at this program one can see what participants would be getting : training in in- formation processing and accounting on in- dushy standard equipment, exposure to employers, specialized training by an employer, business skills, and enhanced sense of self-esteem, and prerequisites for students to qualify for Grade 12 graduation. Some details to be taken care of, depen- ding on the participants, are childcare, and transportation of students -bus routes may need to be altered. But now the organizers are looking for ap- proval of their proposal, and the opportunity to survey clients and possible employers. HCBE looks at exercise options Principals in Huron. County will have their opinions heard concerning the Lord's Prayer issue, as the Huron County Board of Education recently passed a motion that "The board consult with its school prin- cipals on the most appropriate alternatives -for Huron public schools." The board will be attempting to establish some continuity in opening and closing exer- cises in its public schools. The education committee recently reviewed a package of information on revised regulations and recommendations for opening/closing exer- cises and religious education, and discussed options open to the board. Committee chairman Graeme Craig says the board is bound by legislation, but still has a number of options. He emphasized that the Lord's Prayer has not been abolish- ed from schools. The prayer can still be us- ed, but one religion can not be given a posi- tion of primacy over another. The education committee is working toward a document which will outline the options each school has, and will have a report prepared for the board's March meeting. The board's decisions will be affected by recent changes. to the regulation which recognizes Ontario's multicultural and multifaith nature. • The amended regulation will require all public elementary and secondary schools in Ontario to be opened or closed each day with the national .anthem. In addition, at the discretion of each public school board, "God Save the Queen" may be included. The inclusion of any content beyond "0 Canada" will be optional 'for each school board. If a board decides to include other material it will include a period of silence, and/or one or more readings that impart social, moral or spiritual values, and that are representative of our multicultural society. Such reading may be selected from both scriptural writings such as the Bible, the Qu'ran, the Torah and many others, and secular writings. PAPER RECYCLING In another decision the board passed a motion expanding its paper recycling pro- ject, after reviewing a successful pilot^pro- gram. The board passed a motion: "that efforts be undertaken to expand "Project Paper to include all Huron Public Education System sites, and where viable, interested community partners be invited to participate jointly with the Huron County Board of Education in this worthy conserva- tion venture." The ,pilot venture- in paper recycling reclaimed 3.75 tons of high quality waste paper in its first year of operation, for a net financial return of $171.25. The board felt the significant accomplishment was the iden- tification of its potential to reduce pressure on the environment, to lower demand for landfill requirements, and to conserve forests. In 1989 the project willexpand to all school sites,,,and may involve outside interested parties such as the County of Huron Health Unit, HomeQare, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food offices, and the Town of Clinton. A. method of coordinating recovery from all these groups will be sought in the coming year, • DUST COLLECTION The board found it is necessary to upgrade the dust collection systems in the woodwork shops at F.E. Madill Secondary School and South Huron District High School to meet .current Occupational Health and Safety Act requirements as well as the latest fire mar- shall regulations.• Turn to page iSA kj/ SAVE ON GOLD, DIAMIPS, GEMS .&OTHER TREASURES DURING 'GOLD RUSH DAYS' ...
