October 15 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.
