Most of them likely returned to the farm, others went into other w o r k. Some would move from the farm now if it weren't for the fact that they have insufficient education for a trade or profess- ional job. It was brought to the atten- tion of OFA members at their last meeting that many young farm people are unaware of the educational opportunities avail- able to them. It was also stated that some Boards of Education are unfamiliar with facilities on; which they can receive grants. The OFA was requested to publicize the facilities and op- portenities available. The fol- lowing is a first step in this direction. The research was done and material prepared by Cecil Belyea, OFA Director of Resedreb. Vocational Educational Oppor- tunities in Ontario 1. Special Vocational Training. This program is part of a fed- eral -provincial undertaking de- signed to train or retain unem- ployed workers. Eligibility - The applicant, male or female, must be over 16 and unemployed, whose op- portunities for gainful employ- ment or degree of trade skill would be increased by a course of training. He, or she, must be registered for employment with the National Employment Ser- vice but need not have been gainfully employed previously. Selection -Selection is made by representatives of the pro- vince and the National Employ- ment Service; Anyone Interest- ed should contcat the nearest. National Employment Service Office for information. Training -The training period is normally six months duration except for refresher courses and courses in occupations requir- ing a shorter time. The maxi- mum course length, however, is 12 months. A minimum of 15 people must apply for a course, before it is given. Full-time 'classes provide 27 hours of instructions weekly in private or vocational schools and 35 hours weekly in special training centres. The work week under this provision is five to five -and -one-half days. Part-time classes may be giv- en at the discretion of the pro- vince under approval of the Fed- eral Director ofVocational Ed- ucation. The courses may be given in regular municipal or provincial schogls, private trade schools or business colleges ap- proved by the province, and pro- vision encourages "training on the job" under agreement with employers when training in schools or training centres is not available. Wages of trainees, un- der this plan are paid jointly by the employer and the govern- ment, the government's partici- pation, however, being limited to 12 months. Finally, courses may be or- ganized by the Department of Education • at the request of a municipality as presented by its chief municipal officer and suggested by an advisory com- mittee comprised of representa- tives of industry, labor, the Na- tional Employment Service and others. An attempt is made by the Department of Education to comply with these requests us- ing available facilities where- ever possible. Where facilities are not available the federal a n d provincial governments jointly may provide required accommodation and equipment in order to offer the requested courses of study in such subjects as agriculture, mining and for- estry. 'Living Allowance -Living al- lowances currently in effect are as follows: single persons, liv- ing at home, 2.50 per day; away from home, 3.50 per day; heads of families: living at home, 4.50 per day; away from home, 6.00 per day. These rates apply when un- employment insurance benefits or welfare allowances are exp• haunted excepting where such benefits and allowances amount to less than the approved liv- ing allowance. In such cases the trainees would receive the dif- ference. 2. Correspondence Courses: • The Department of Education provides correspondence courses for Ontario persons through its Correspondence Courses Branch, These courses are designed for persons who are unable to at- tend school. More than 90% of all students enrolled are over 16 years of age. The course s offered include academic sub- jects for Grades 1 to 1.3 and nine trade courses in the fields of automotive mechanics, car- pentry, machine shop practice, and radio theory and practice. Academic courses are free to Ontario residents; trade courses, are available to residents of all provinces at $10 a course. Students in these courses are prepared for Departmental examinations in the case of aca- demic subjects and for certifi- cation In the trade courses. 3. Apprentice Training: Apprentice training require- ments are set forth by the Ap- prenticeship Act of 1928. Eligibility -Applicants for ap- prenticeship must be over 16 years of age and may be of either sex. Training -Training is offered in the following designated trades; Bricklayer, carpenter, elec- trician, mason, motor vehicle repairer, painter and decorator, plasterer, plumber, sheet metal worker, steamfitter, barber and hairdresser, trades associated with air conditioning and refrig- eration. Formal training in the desig- nated trades is given at the Provincial Institute of Trades in Toronto. The training period is of ten weeks duration. In the designated trades, contracts, as approved by the Department of Labour, between the employer and the apprentice are required. These contracts must be for a minimum of two years. No per- son eligible for apprenticeship may work longer than three months in one of the designated trades without such a controct. Allowances -While undergoing training at the Prrvincial In- stitute of Trades, the appren- tice is entitled to the following allowances: single, at home, $16 per week; away from home, $20 per week; heads of families, at home, $24 per week; away from home, $28 per week. In addition, the apprentice is given assistance in the selection of approved accomodation. Also he receives an allowance for transportation to and from the school if he is domiciled out- side of Toronto. This allowance, however, is given only once. 4. Technical Institutes: Technical institutes offer ad- vanced technological education between the levels provided in secondary schools and in the universities. There are four such institutes in the province, name- ly Ryerson Institute of Tech- nology (Toronto); The Hamil- ton Institute of Technology; The Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology (Ottawa); and the Western Ontario Institute of Technology (Windsor). All four institutes provide a three-year program leading to employment in business and industrial oc- cupations, Evening classes are offered for employed persons wishing to improve their edu- cation.
