Outline Qpportun ities
For Farm Youth education
Many young farm people left
school before cgmpleting their
formal education; that is pub-
bLic, secondai(and/or college
or university training. 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

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.

Ontario residents; trade courses,
are available to residents of all
provinces at $10 a course.

prepared for Departmental
examinations in the case of aca-
demic subjects and for certifi-
cation In the trade courses.

nated trades is given at the

tice is entitled to the following

side of Toronto. This allowance,
however, is given only once.
4. Technical Institutes:

vanced technological education

stitutes there is a common first-
