Adult education programs
begin at Seaforth
Seaforth District High School is
providing an excellent opportunity
to adults in Huron County to
complete their high school educa
tion and to receive specialized
training in Office Administration
that will equip and prepare them to
re-enter the modem office environ
ment.
The programs, which is free to
all participants, is scheduled to
begin the first week of October at
Seaforth District High School and is
directed toward people who would
like to work in today’s business
field but require up-to-date com
puter, accounting and secretarial
skills. There are two phases to the
programme. Participants will begin
by attending classes and taking
four courses until the end of
January. These classes will be
composed entirely of adults. Parti
cipants will then enter co-operative
education placement where train
ing will continue until the middle of
June.
The normal daily classroom pro
gramme will consist of four classes
- Accounting, Information Pro
cessing, Business English and
Personal Life Management. Stu
dents will be introduced to a variety
of industry standard computer
software such as Word Perfect,
Lotus 1-2-3, and Bedford. Each
course will use the computer to
apply material whenever appli
cable. Concentration will also be on
developing appropriate attitude,
dress and grooming, interpersonal
skills, confidence building, deci
sion making, individual counsell
ing, and building class rapport and
support systems vital to women
re-entering the labour force.
The co-operative education com
ponent of the programme will
begin at the end of January with
training to proceed in the towns of
the participant’s choice (wherever
possible). Students will return to
the class location one day per
month to allow time for discussion,
seminars, guest speakers and re
flective learning.
An exciting aspect to the pro
gramme is that there is an oppor
tunity for all participants to com
plete the prerequisites for their
high school diplomas. Each will
have the opportunity to earn a
maximum of 8 high school credits
with the possibility of receiving
additional credits (to a maximum of
12) based on maturity and experi
ence. Thus participants may earn
20 high school credits through this
programme.
Employers in the community
receive benefits through participa
tion in the co-operative education
programme. They will be provided
with exposure to mature people
with modern office skills as poten
tial employees. Although the em
ployers will not be required to
financially compensate the partici
pants during this component, they
will have to commit time to training
the student for their specific job.
Transportation can be arranged
in most cases and the hours will
be somewhat flexible depending on
the needs of the participants.
If you are interested in participa
ting in the programme as a student
or as an employer please call
Seaforth District High School at
527-0380 and ask for Deani Van
Pelt.
