Government
develops
youth
employment
initiative
OTTAWA - The future of the Ca-
nadian economy will be built by to-
day's young Canadians. In recent
years, many young people have had
difficulty finding jobs. The federal
government has developed initia-
tives to focus on employment suc-
cess for our youth.
There are 3.7 million Canadians
between the ages of 15 and 24
That's 14 per cent of the popula-
tion. The current unemployment
rate for young Canadians is 17 per
cent (February 1996). As of March
1996, the rate of youth unemploy-
ment dropped more than two per-
centage points to 15.3 per cent.
The federal government has pro-
duced a number of initiatives to
help shape the future for youth.
Many young people have difficulty
entering the labor market, whether
you are seeking a summer job, or
pursuing a career after the comple-
tion of high school, university or
college.
Human Resources Development
Minister , the Honorable Doug
Young, has created a Ministerial
Task Force on Youth. Maurizio
Bevilacqua, Member of Parliament
for York North, and his team of
Members of Parliament and Sena,
tors are traveling extensively
throughout Canada canvassing
young people to openly discuss
their views about their future em-
ployment prospects.

Manufactured Housing building a reputation
HENSALL - Giant Lego. "That's
the closest analogy I can give you
as to how the 18 different pieces
will fit together", stated Gabriel
Robichaud, General Manager of
General Manufactured Housing
loc., about the two storey modular
office building that is currently on-
line.
The office building, which will
take only two weeks to manufac-
ture, will be assembled of nine side
by side units, 12' wide x 60' long,
on the first floor and the same num-
ber stacked on top. The commercial
unit purchased by G.E. Capital will
be shipped to its final destination in
the Montreal area in transport truck
convoys of four units, as soon as
they come off the assembly line.
Hoechst Marion Roussel who are
leasing the building from G.E. Cap-
ital, decided to move from down-
town Montreal to the outlying in-
dustrial parks because of sky rock-
eting real estate costs. A totally dif-
ferent design concept, GMHI's
modular office building offered
Hoechst Marion Roussel a cost
competitive, quality manufactured
alternative, that could be assembled
on site in 14 days time.
"The fast turn around time from
design to delivery is what sells
most clients" said Dale Chaddock,
Engineering Manager. With the
wet weather that has plagued east-
ern Canada this spring, indoor
manufacturing offers no delays and
no damaged materials due to expo-
sure.
The large order has also given a
Student employment
centres ready to help
EXETER - Summer is just about here and along with sunny skies and
warm weather comes a need for students to find summer jobs. In re-
sponse to this demand for work, the Student Employment Centres in
Exeter and Goderich have opened their doors for business. Beginning
on May 27, the Clinton office will also be up and running and ready to
help students in the search for summer employment.
Because the summer job market has become increasingly more com-
petitive, the Student Employment Centre is geared toward making the
hunt for employment a more positive experience for students. This
summer, the Exeter office is located in the Huron Employment Re-
source Centre on Main Street, and is staffed by Tonya Riehl. In Gode-
rich, Cherilyn Bylsma will be running her office out of the NERC!
Canada Employment Centre, and Jenny Wareham will be working in
both locations. Leila Beier will soon be operating the Clinton office out
of the Learning Resource Centre.
Each of the Student Employment Officers is keen to assist students in
their hunt for summer work. Students are encouraged to stop in the lo-
cal offices, fill out a registration card, and check out the current job list-
ings posted in each area. SEOs will also be presenting seminars on re-
sume writing and effective job hunting strategies. At each of these
presentations, students will be made aware of the services available to
them through the Employment Centre and instructed on how to pursue
local job opportunities.
Employers are invited to draw from the endless resource of student
potential available to them. Students are motivated, highly trainable,
enthusiastic to learn and can be an asset to almost any business. By pro-
viding young people with valuable work experience, employers are
making an investment in the future of the community. For more infor-
mation on the services available through the Student Employment Cen-
tre, students and employers are invited to contact the nearest office.

boost to the local Hensall economy
where GMHI is located. Produc-
tion has doubled in the last week as
a record number of orders were re-
ceived. "We are now producing 10
units of commercial and residen-
tial housing per week" said Robi-
chaud. "and another order for a
one storey office building with 12
pieces of "!ego" was confirmed
last week."
GMHI customizes all of their
commercial units, which include
site offices and portables for
school boards, to the needs of their
customers. This may include hand-
icap accessibility or bars in the
case of a jail that was recently
manufactured for a northern reser-
vation.
With demand for their new lines
of Mini Homes, Garden Suites and
Residential Homes heating up
much faster than the weather,
GMHI is "building" a reputation
for innovation.
