Goderich District Collegiate Institute (GDCI) principal Bruce Shaw attended the September 3 meeting of the Huron County Board of Education (HCBE) to dis­ cuss the proposal of an innovative job strategy nrogram at the school. The proposal was developed as the result of co-operative discus­ sions between personnel from Employment and Immigration Canada, Mr. Shaw, and HCBE Superintendents Chuck Rowland and Paul Carroll. In introducing Mr. Shaw to the trustees, Mr. Rowland provided some background regarding the proposal. Under the Canada Job Strategy concept, this program is similar to other adult training pro­ grams offered by the board in part­ nership with Employment and immigration Canada. Unlike these other ventures, this program has more of a training approach than a teaching and is under the sponsorship of Huron Industrial Training Advisory Com­ mittee (HITAC), he said, with HCBE becoming the delivery agent. The idea is to see a technical studies program in construction technology for 20 adults, running for a period of one year. Classroom instruction and the on-site work placements would take place at GDCI. The program ties into the plans for expansion at the school. "This is unique in that it is attempting to accomplish a couple of things with unemployed, skilled workers, by enhancing their educa­ tion background and in some cases, actually having them eam a sec­ ondary school diploma," Mr. Shaw informed the board. The program will involve co-op work as well as "running the entire gamut of what people leave high school with," said Mr. Shaw. "There will be classes in English, math and technical studies. Supervision would be provided by a general contractor and trades persons working in partnership with the teaching staff and project manager for the program. Planning for expansion at GDCI has been on-going for some time, Mr. Carroll reminded the board noting that increasing the labour force by 20 trainees will be a sig­ nificant savings in overall costs. To do an addition similar to the one recently finished at Grey Central Public School near Ethel will result in an estimated saving of up to 20- 25 percent of the overall costs, Mr. Carroll said.

" He then went on to say that if the project is phased in to get trainees involved in the interior renovations the increased savings could amount to half of the overall costs. "The desirable route is to proceed as planned," he suggested, adding, that it was important that the trustees understand that a commit­ ment to accept the project is a com­ mitment to proceed. "The emphasis is on a training type of education, but there is a residual effect." Candidates, said Mr. Shaw, will be in receipt of some sort of Unem­ ployment Insurance Commission (UIC), and be from age 18 up. It is hoped that candidates will have some particular skill, so that while they learn another trade, they can offer their expertise by re training someone else, Mr. Shaw explained. They will have a minimum of 10 women and 10 men. Trustee John Jewitt reminded Mr. Shaw that there are many people struggling financially, who need to be re trained, but are not receiving any kind of government assistance. Cook’s.

Canada Manpower is interested in getting people off UIC, but there are a lol of other people not eligible who need help," he said. "We agree with those concerns," said Chair Joan Van Den Broeck. "It's an unfortunate reality that peo­ ple not in the system often can't benefit from these types of pro­ grams." Trustee Rick Rompf stated it was his understanding that Manpower had placed no restriction on the program so any unemployed person should be able to become a trainee. After discussion the trustees passed a recommendations that the program be approved and that plans be devised for the construction of additional space at GDCI to com­ plement the program. Trustee Roxanne Brown said she was pleased about the program. "We have talked about alternate financial strategies to answer the problem of expansion and it looks like this will indeed save us more. Ms Van Den Broeck and Director of Education Bob Allan extended their thanks to the board and the staff for putting this project togeth­ er and particularly Mr. Shaw for his commitment to the idea.
