Industrial group develop new programs
More than 100 working individuals, almost
all from Huron County companies, are
developing microcomputer skills as the
result of efforts by the Huron County Com-
munity Industrial Training Committee
(CITC) and Conestoga College
Last fall, the CITC .approached Conestoga •
to assist in the development of a business -
oriented computer course. CITC Chairman •
Ian Moreland of Western Foundry in
Wingham, Conestoga's Huron County Conti-
.nuing Education Manager Robert Simpson,
and computer teacher GlenMachan
organized an information day in Clinton,
which attracted the interest of ,a large
number ef Huron County businesses. • ,
The result is a course entitled Microcom-
puter Applications for Business.
Currently, the course is being offered on-
site at 13 locations in Huron County and one
location in neighbouring Perth County. All
activity is being funded through the Train-
ing in Business and Industry program
(TM ).
Microcomputer ApplicaoJ3s is a flexible
Course, providing 30 - 60 hors of learning,
depending upon the job -associated needs of
the individual. The major, topics covered
are microcomputer hardware and soft-.
ware, disk usage and care, word prOCessing,
spreadsheets, data storage and retrieval,.
and other applications relevant 'to a par-
ticular business or work tunction ine
course involves both theoretical learning
and hands-on skill development.
Asraverage -of six participants are involv-
ed at each site, but course work is done in
smaller groups's° that day-to-day company
operations will not be impeded. Learning
takes place in two-hour blocks, but each par-
ticipant is expected to do one hour ' of
"homework" foreach hour of class time.
These extra periods of familiarization are
possible because an IBM PC microcom-
puter has been provided at each site for the
duration of the course. For scheduled class
sessions, course teacher Machan provides
two additional IBM PCs, which allow each
individual participant access to a
microcomputer.
The participating companies, from
' various Huron County locations, represent a'
wide range of business operations and ser-
vices. Examples are: Fleck Manufacturing,
Keil Insurance, Goderich Elevator, Huronia
Welding, Maitland Engineering, Bentley
Accoimtants, Hill and Hill Farms Ltd., and
Jim Hayter Chev/Olds.
These are primarily small companies, all
but one having fewer than 100 employees:
One course section, in fact, is multi -client,
comprising one or two participants from
several Huron County companies.
This spring, the Huron County CITC will
be meeting to review developments and suc-
cesses associated with Microcomputer Ap-
plications.for Business, and to identify
future learning needs of local business and
industry.
