ABM applications up
CENTRALIA - Compared to a
year ago at this time, applications
to the Agricultural Business Man-
agement diploma program at Cen=
tralia College are up by 30 percent.
Generally students have applied
much earlier than in the past two
years. According to CCAT Direc-
tor, Bill Allen, "The Centralia pro-
gram, emphasizes business, skills
and decision-making, that's what
the next generation secs as essential
to success in farming or related
business". --
About
About half of the agriculture ap-
plicants have already attended regu-
lar classes. Applicants to beth food
service management and Agricultu-
ral Business Management toured the
campus, met teachers and students,.
and attended half a day of classes
during Centralia's College Preview
Days.
Applicants were impressed by
"the realistic. approach to teaching
farm management—said one individ-
ual: Centralia co-operates exten-
sively with area farmers and uses
the actual working farm to illustrate
agricultural skills.
So why are high school graduates
looking to agnculture' In a worn,
the answer is jobs! „Graduates real-
ly do have their pick" says Barb
Shipley, agriculture jobs liaison.
"In fact, 80 percent of students grad-
uating this year have full-time posi-
tions lined up and the remainder are
returning home to farm". The ratio
of jobs to students is about 4:1 for
Centralia ABM s.
The agriculture program is con-:
tinually refining its delivery of
course material. The benefits ripple
into Centralia's very active continu- •
ing education program and vice ver-
sa.
In January, February and March,
Centralia used 15 lap top micro
computers to teach introductory
farm, computers and computerized
accounting to farmers from Walker-
ton and Markdalc to Hensall and
Stratford - seven locations in all.
Secondly; CCAT co-ordinated the
development of a farm financial
management manual for use in farm
records and analysis and -farm man-
agement short courses. The manual
is composed of modules and of
study and can be the basis of a
course or can be purchased for indi-
vidual self-directed learning.
